Week 2 Air standard Cycle

Aim:

To create Otto cycle simulator and show it in P-V plot

procedure:

import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def engine_kinematics(bore,stroke,con_rod,cr,start_crank,end_crank):
	
	
	a=stroke/2
	R=con_rod/a

	v_s=math.pi*(1/4)*pow(bore,2)*stroke
	v_c=v_s/(cr-1)

	sc=math.radians(start_crank)
	ec=math.radians(end_crank)
	num_values=50
	dtheta=(ec-sc)/(num_values-1)
	V=[]

	for i in range(0,num_values):
		theta=sc+i*dtheta
		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)
		V.append((1+term1*(term2-term3))*v_c)
	return V

plt.xlabel('volume')
plt.ylabel('pressure')
plt.show()
