Effects of Pressure Drops on the Performance Characteristics of Air Standard Otto Cycle

Figure 5

Schematics of the air standard Otto cycle with pressure drop from point 3 to 3′ and reversible adiabatic expansion and 3′ 4s (reversible adiabatic model assumption), 3′ 4s′ is a polytropic process (polytropic expansion model assumption).
