A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Air standard cycles

Air-standard cycles are idealized models of internal combustion engine cycles in which air is treated as the working fluid and the actual combustion and exhaust processes are replaced by heat addition and heat rejection. For exams, you must master the assumptions, the sequence of processes in the Otto, Diesel, and Dual cycles, and how efficiency depends on ratios such as compression ratio and cut-off ratio.
