Heat Release Example Quinn Straub

Example 2.2 Finite Heat Release:

A single cylinder Otto cycle engine is operated at full throttle. The engine has a bore of 0.1m,
stroke of 0.1m and connecting rod length of 0.15m, with a compression ratio of 10. The initial
cylinder pressure, P 1, and temperature T1 , at bottom dead center are 1 bar and 300K. The engine
speed is 3000rpm. The heat addition, Qin, is 1800J. Compare the effect of start of heat release at
θs=-20 and θs=0o atdc on (a) the net work, the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and the mean
effective pressure, and (b) the pressure, temperature and work profiles versus crank angle.
Assume that the ideal gas specific heat ratio is 1.4, the gas molecular weight is 29, the
combustion duration is constant at 40 o, and that the Weibe parameters are a=5 and n=3.

Given:

Nc := 1 L := .15m T1 := 300K θs1 := −20deg γ := 1.4 kJ := 1000J

B := .1m rc := 10 N := 3000rpm θs2 := 0deg a := 5 kmol := 1000mol
