they were improving this technology more, but there was another competitor who was going to go much further, the
internal combustion engine. By the mid-19th century, the steam engine was working well, but
had the problem of its large volume for application in vehicles. An engine was needed that

light. The internal combustion engine in which the injected fuel, mixed with air,

compression, but they worked with a mixture of air and fuel that was drawn in or
blown inside during the first part of the system's movement. The most distinct

very important. By the end of that century there were a multitude of engine varieties

air, increased levels of CO2) are still essential and are manufactured according to
very different designs and a very wide range of powers that goes from a few watts
up to thousands of kW

4.2 Internal Combustion Engine


An internal combustion engine is a type of
machine that obtains mechanical energy
directly from the chemical energy of a
fuel that burns inside a combustion chamber. Its name is due to the fact that
this combustion occurs within the machine itself, unlike by

example, the steam engine.

THERMODYNAMIC PRINCIPLES

The purpose of an engine is to perform work as efficiently as possible, for that various
people devised the internal combustion engine that would replace the steam engine, of this
way they would optimize the world of engines. In the case of internal combustion engines, the
the work to be done is achieved thanks to an explosion, that explosion is achieved thanks to the
internal energy of the fuel that ignites. All fuel has an internal energy that
can be transformed into work, then, in internal combustion engines, energy
used for the engine to perform work is the internal energy of the fuel. This energy
internal manifests itself with an increase in pressure and temperature (explosion), which is what
will do a job.

PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES

In order to continue the cycle, a mechanism capable of producing four piston strokes is needed.
to carry out the four processes of the cycle, the crank-slider mechanism used is also in the
steam engine is the most suitable.

The force supplied to the moving crankshaft does work. The work it performs
the engine for each turn that the crankshaft makes on itself is defined as torque.
Therefore, the torque is proportional to the force of the explosion, since the revolutions do not come into play.
of the crankshaft per unit of time. Where the crankshaft revolutions do intervene is in the
developed power, which we define as the amount of work (motor torque) per unit of
time. Power is proportional to the torque and the revolutions the crankshaft makes per unit of
time (rpm)

Power = Torque x rpm


The power is reflected in the maximum average acceleration and in the top speed, that is,
the more power, the less time to reach a speed and a higher maximum speed
of the vehicle.

4-STROKE ENGINE

The four-stroke engine was a revolution in the world of engines, since Alphonse Beau
de Rochas conceived this cycle and later Nikolaus August Otto improved it, there have been many more
changes that have improved its performance and is still used today. Next
We will explain what the four-stroke cycle is based on.

4.3 Combustion Engine Otto Cycle


The Otto cycle is a set of processes used by internal combustion engines.
(2-stroke or 4-stroke). These engines accept a mixture of fuel and air, which is
compressed so that it can react effectively to the addition of heat, so the
chemical energy of the mixture can be transformed into thermal energy, and through the
the expansion of combustion products produces movement, and subsequently
the exhaust gases from combustion are expelled and subsequently replaced by
a new mixture of fuel and air.
The efficiency or thermal performance of an engine of this type depends on the ratio of
compression, ratio between the maximum and minimum volumes of the chamber of
combustion. This ratio is usually from 8 to 1 up to 10 to 1 in most engines
Modern Otto. Higher proportions can be used, such as 12 to 1, increasing
thus the engine's efficiency, but this design requires the use of high fuels
octane index to avoid detonation. (this is false)
A low compression ratio does not require fuel with a high octane number.
to avoid this phenomenon; in the same way, a high compression requires a
high octane number fuel, to avoid the effects of detonation, that is,
that there is an auto-ignition of the fuel before the spark occurs in the
spark plug.
The average efficiency of a good 4-stroke Otto engine is between 25 to 30%, lower
the performance achieved with diesel engines, which reach efficiencies of 30 to 45%,
due precisely to its higher compression ratio.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES
In recent years, the application of electronics in 4-stroke engines in automotive technology
it has been very important, with how engine technology has been able to grow and grow until
to achieve engines with high performance, low consumption, and brutal power. In this section, we
They will explain two systems that are starting to be used today.

the circumstances, without resorting to supercharging devices.

An engine equipped with a variable valve timing system is freed from this

of the engine. In low rpm areas, a reduced overlap promotes stable idle and a

5 Substance of work

It is a fluid in which energy can be stored and from which it can be taken.
Fluid is a liquid, gas, or vapor (a substance that offers little resistance to
transformations).

5.1 Some examples of working substance are:


Steam (steam turbine)

Air (air compressor)

Mixture of air and gasoline (internal combustion engine)

Windmill (air)

Hydraulic turbine (water)

Cooling system (refrigerant)

The cycles of real internal combustion engines are quite complex. To reduce
the analysis at a manageable level uses the following approaches, known
commonly as standard air assumptions:

The working fluid is air and always behaves like an ideal gas.

All the processes that make up the cycle are internally reversible.
3. The combustion process is replaced by a heat addition process from a
external source.

4. The escape process is replaced by a heat rejection process that returns to the
workflow to its initial state.

5.2 EIGHT AIR CYCLE


The Otto cycle consists of four internally reversible processes in series.

Process 1-2 is an isentropic compression of air, when


the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the
upper dead point.

Process 2-3, the air absorbs heat at constant volume, from


an external source, while the piston is at the point
superior dead. This process represents the ignition of the
mixes air fuel and the consequent rapid combustion.

Process 3-4 is an isentropic expansion (stroke of


work)

Process 4-1, at constant volume, in which the air releases heat.


while the piston is at the BDC. (bottom dead center)

5.4 Comparison of gasoline and diesel engine classes
5.5 The 4 phases of a gasoline engine are:

Admission: The air mixed with gasoline enters the combustion chamber
Compression: The air and gasoline are compressed by the piston.
Explosion: When the spark plug releases the spark, the fuel explodes generating power.
Escape: the combustion chamber is cleaned to start again.

5.6 The 4 phases of a Diesel engine are:

Admission: Enter the air alone a the camera of combustion


Compression: The Air is compressed for the piston
Combustion: The injector releases a fine mist of fuel at the peak point of
piston up, causing it to burn due to the temperature of the air being
very compressed generating the power.
Escape: the combustion chamber is cleaned to start over.

For all this, the Diesel engine must have a higher compression of the air since
it needs to raise its temperature significantly to burn a non-explosive fuel
how diesel is and in some cases they need glow plugs for certain
moments (The Cold Start) to preheat the air to burn the diesel.
6 Ideal Otto cycle efficiency

The performance of the Otto cycle, like that of any other thermal machine, comes
given by the relationship between the total work done during the cycle and the heat
supplied to the working fluid

Heat absorption takes place at stage 23 and release at 41, so:

Assuming that the air-fuel mixture behaves like an ideal gas, the
calories that appear in the previous equation are given by:

Q23=Cv(T3-T2)

The greater the compression ratio, the higher the cycle efficiency will be.

7 Conclusion

We conclude that the Otto cycle has been very important even today, it allowed us to
understanding what happens inside an engine which led to the creation of the
automobiles.
We can deduce if our engine operates on the Otto cycle. If the engine has a spark plug.
to produce the spark, we have a spark-ignition engine (Otto) (for
understand each other, gasoline engine.

We also have the performance of an engine useful for comparing or improving its
performance at 100. Due to this, the relationship between useful work and heat is understood
