OTTO CYCLE

%Function with arguments engine geo parameters

function [V] = piston_kinematics(bore,stroke,con_rod,cr,s_c,e_c)

a = stroke/2;
R = con_rod/a;

v_s = (pi/4)*bore^2*stroke;
v_c = v_s/(cr-1);

theta = linspace(s_c,e_c,100);

term1 = 0.5*(cr-1);
term2 = R + 1 - cosd(theta);
term3 = (R^2 - sind(theta).^2).^0.5;

V = (1+ term1*(term2 - term3)).*v_c;
