fuel and air) is compressed adiabatically from state 1 to state
2. Making the surroundings work with gas, increasing its energy
internal (temperature) and compressing it. On the other hand, entropy remains
no changes.
Isocoric compressionIn this phase (between state 2 and state 3) there is a
heat transfer at constant volume to the air from an external source
while the piston is at rest at the top dead center.
Isentropic expansionHere: the gas expands adiabatically from the
state 3 to state 4, The gas works in the environment (which is the piston) and loses
an amount of internal energy equal to the work that leaves the
system. Again, the entropy remains unchanged.
Isobaric escape(escape race): the main objective of the modern cycle
from Atkinson is to allow the pressure in the combustion chamber at the end of the
power career is equal to atmospheric pressure. The cycle passes the points 4
→ 1 → 0.
Admission cycle:
The same in both engines. Once the intake valves are opened, the piston
descends and the cylinder fills with a mixture of air and fuel.
Compression cycle:
This is the Only cycle in which theAtkinson engineIt has a different behavior
to theOtto engine.
In this cycle, the piston moves from the lowest point to the highest point)
while in the Otto cycle the valves are closed throughout the process, in the
Atkinson cycle the intake valve remains open for a good part while
the piston rises. The work required to lift the piston is less than if the valve
it was closed all the time.
In the Otto cycle, the compression ratio is established as the ratio between the
volume that exists in the chamber when the piston is at the bottom dead center and
the one we find when it is at the top dead center
In the case of the Atkinson, the maximum volume of the chamber begins to be measured at the
moment when the intake valve closes, which occurs when it has already been
performed a part of the upward stroke of the piston. Given that the maximum volume
it is lower in the Atkinson cycle, the compression ratio is lower, because in both
in some cases the minimum volume reached is the same.
Explosion cycle:
The piston descends from the top dead center to the bottom dead center.
while the intake and exhaust valves remain both closed. Given the
lower compression carried out in the Atkinson cycle the generated power is lower
Well, due to the different compression ratio, we have that the gases
compressed, like the rest of the components, will have much lower
temperature in the Atkinson cycle engine,
Escape cycle:
When the piston reaches the bottom dead center, the exhaust valve opens and the piston
It ascends again to expel all the burnt gases.
The main objective of Atkinson's modern cycle is to allow pressure in the chamber of
combustion at the end of the power race be equal to atmospheric pressure.
