Thermodynamic analysis using the otto cycle.

[jds32]

Hi
I hope some ph members could help me with a question for a assignment I need to do?

We have to do a complete thermodynamic analysis of a 4 stroke single cylinder Tecumseh engine. I'm struggling to find out how to calculate the pressure within the combustion chamber ( is it the same as the mean effective pressure?).

Also struggling with combustion chamber temperature aswell.

Yeah my mistake is there a way to change the title?

Thankyou that helps a great deal. I suppose I needed some assurance that i was heading down the right path. Heywoods book is one I will have to get a copy of . Pulkrabeks Engineering fundamentals of IC engines is another I have had recommended to me.

Try Richard Stone's book too if the other two don't help.

Got that from the library today
