IC engines

The term "engine" indicates a mechanical device/machine used to convert input energy to a specific mechanical output. The input energy may be in the form of chemical energy, thermal energy, or so on and mechanical output is in the form of mechanical energy (work done). Generally, the engines classify into two groups which are internal combustion type and external combustion type, and further, these two types can be classified into two types that are reciprocating and rotary engines.

Efficiency of the same engine using regular gasoline at density of 0.71g/cm3 at 11.355L/hr resulting in 14.9kW of power?
Problem: The drawing (not to scale) shows the way in which the pressure and volume change for an ideal gas that is used as the working substance in a Carnot engine. The gas begins at point A (pressure = PA, volume = VA) and expands isothermally at temperature T until point B (pressure = PB, volume = V B) is reached. During this expansion, the input heat of magnitude Qn enters the gas from the hot reservoir of the engine. Then, from point B to point C (pressure Pc. volume = Vc), the gas expands adiabatically. Next, the gas is compressed isothermally at temperature T. from point C to point D (pressure = PD, volume = VD). During this compression, heat of magnitude Q. is rejected to the cold reservoir of the engine. Finally, the gas is compressed adiabatically from point D to point A, where the gas is back in its initial state. The overall process A to B to C to D to A is called a Carnot cycle. Prove The work done during the cycle equals the area enclosed by the path on the PV diagram. B…
