OTTO CYCLE | Easy Animation

Показать описание

Otto Cycle is an ideal thermodynamic cycle that makes your gasoline-fueled car move and speeds up by performing four-piston strokes of the car’s engine.

So to understand the strokes of this cycle let us first name the key terms for this topic.

First is the
Cylinder – the space to which the piston travels up and down
Top Dead Center – Farthest point of the piston’s upward travel
Bottom Dead Center – Farthest point of the piston’s downward travel
Stroke – This is what we call when the piston travels from the Bottom Dead Center to Top Dead Center or vice versa

Intake Valve – introduces the air and gasoline mixture into the cylinder
Exhaust Valve – evacuates the unburned gases from the cylinder
Spark Plug – provides heat energy by its spark
And finally, Piston – the one that converts the heat energy from the combustion into mechanical energy that will rotate the car’s wheels
