The document discusses Carnot, Otto and Diesel cycles. It also provides examples of solving problems involving a three process cycle with isentropic compression, polytropic expansion and isothermal expansion/compression.

The steps provided to solve a three process cycle problem include: 1) Identifying the processes and their properties 2) Applying the appropriate thermodynamic equations to calculate properties like temperature, pressure and volume at each state 3) Calculating heat transfer, work and other thermodynamic properties.

Carnot Cycle & Three-Process Cycle
Gas Cycles|5
Heat Engine/Thermal Engine
• a closed system (no mass crosses its boundaries)
• exchanges only heat and work with its surrounding
• operates in cycles
Gas Cycles|5
Elements of a thermodynamic heat engine with a fluid as the
working substance:

Working Substance - matter that receives heat, rejects heat & does work

Heat Source - a hot body, a heat reservoir, or just source


- from which the working substance receives heat

Heat Sink - a receiver, a cold body, or just sink


- to which the working substance can reject heat

Engine - wherein the working substance may do work or have work done on
it.
Gas Cycles|5

Thermodynamic cycle occurs when the working


fluid of a system experiences a number of
processes that eventually return the fluid to its
initial state.
Cycle Work & Thermal Efficiency|5

QA = heat added

QR = heat rejected

W = net work
• Available energy is that part of the heat that
was converted into mechanical work.
• Unavailable energy is the remainder of the heat
that had to be rejected into the receiver (sink).
The Second Law of Thermodynamics|5
Kelvin-Planck Statement:
All energy received as heat by a heat-engine cycle cannot be
converted into mechanical work.
Work of a Cycle
(a) W = ∑Q = Q1-2 + Q2-3 + Q3-4 + … (Algebraic sum)
W = QA + (- QR) (Arithmetic difference)

The net work of a cycle is the algebraic sum of the works


done by the individual processes.
(b) W = ∑W
W = W1-2 + W2-3 + W3-4 + . . .
Carnot Cycle
The Carnot Cycle|5

Carnot Cycle
• The Carnot cycle is a theoretical
thermodynamic cycle proposed by Nicolas
Léonard Sadi Carnot in 1824
• the most efficient cycle conceivable
• a perfect cycle that forms a standard of
comparison for actual engines, actual cycles
and also for other less efficient ideal cycles
Operation of the Carnot Engine|5
1
Carnot Engine is a hypothetical
engine that operates on the
reversible Carnot cycle. The basic
model for this engine was developed
by Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot .
The cylinder head, the only place
where heat may enter or leave the
system is placed in contact with the
source of heat, hot body, into the
substance in the cylinder
isothermally, process 1-2, and the
piston moves from 1’-2’.
Operation of the Carnot Engine|5
2
Next, the cylinder is removed from
the hot body and the insulator I is
placed over the head of the
cylinder, so that no heat may be
transferred in or out. As a result,
any further process is adiabatic.
The isentropic change 2-3 now
occurs and the piston moves 2’-3’.
Operation of the Carnot Engine|5
3
When the piston reaches the end of
the stroke 3’, the insulator I is
removed and the cylinder head is
placed in contact with the receiver
or sink, which remains at the
constant temperature T3. Heat then
flows from the substance to the
sink and the isothermal
compression 3-4 occurs while
piston moves from 3’-4’.
Operation of the Carnot Engine|5
4
Finally, the insulator I is again
placed over the head & the
isentropic compression 4-1 returns
the substance to its initial
condition, as the piston moves from
4’-1’

The thermal efficiency, e, is defined as the fraction of the heat supplied


to a thermodynamic cycle that is converted into work.

stroke.

that, acting through one stroke, will do on the piston the net work
of a single cycle.
