Brakes are crucial for stopping a vehicle and driving safely on the road. The use of a proper braking system enhances the handling of the vehicle …
The diesel cycle was invented by Rudolph Diesel in 1893. He put forward an idea by which we can attain higher thermal efficiency, with a high compression ratio. All diesel engine works on this cycle. Diesel is used as fuel in this cycle as it can be compressed at a higher compression ratio. It is …
The Otto cycle was given by Dr. Nikolaus August Otto. It is a gas power cycle that is used in spark ignition engine (i.e. petrol engines) for its working. The entire modern petrol engine works on Otto cycle. It consists of four processes, Two isentropic (reversible adiabatic) processes and two isochoric (constant volume) processes. It …
