Explanation:

  • Import import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  • Define the engine kinematics of bore,stroke,con_rod,cr,start_crank,end_crank
  • Here volume parameters are taken as V_s = math.pi*(1/4)*pow(bore,2)*stroke
    V_c = V_s/(cr-1)
  • The formula for start crank and end crank are taken as sc=math.radians(start_crank)
    ec=math.radians(end_crank)
  • Now take the num_values = 50 and in for loop solve the equation into 3 terms as

term1 = 0.5*(cr-1)
term2 = R+1-math.cos(theta)
term3 =pow(R,2)-pow(math.sin(theta),2)
term3=pow(term3,0.5)

  • Now solve them as V.append((1 +term1*(term2-term3))*V_c)
  • Now solve the "V compression" AND "V expansion" as V_compression=engine_kinematics(bore,stroke,con_rod,cr,180,0) and
  • P_expansion.append(constant/pow(v,gamma))
  • At state point 4 solve p4 = p3*pow(v3,gamma)/pow(v4,gamma)
  • After calculating varous state points we plot them in graphical form
  • A function is created to calculate the valume trace using volume trace formula
  • Now all the data is plotted and get desired result.
