Effects of Pressure Drops on the Performance Characteristics of Air Standard Otto Cycle
Figure 1
Schematics of the air standard Otto cycle with different modes of irreversibility: cycle 1→2s→3→4s→1 represents the ideal Otto cycle; pressure drop is represented by points 1′, 1′′, 3′, and 3′′; isentropic losses are represented by points 2 and 4, and heat leak is represented by the heat leak coefficient .
