Project

write PYTHON code that can solve an otto cycle and make plots for it.

Objective

write python code that can solve an otto cycle and make plots for it.

Problem Statement

1. Your code should create a PV diagram

2. You should output the thermal efficiency of the engine.

Theory

An Otto cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle that describes the functioning of a typical spark ignition piston engine. It is the thermodynamic cycle most commonly found in automobile engines.

Code

#otto cycle
import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np

def engine_kinamatics(bore,stroke,con_rod,cr,start_crank,end_crank):
	
    #goeometric input
	
	
	

	sc=math.radians(start_crank)
	ec=math.radians(end_crank)

	num_value=50
	dtheta=(ec-sc)/(num_value-1)
	v=[]

	for i in range(0,num_value):
		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)



#inputs
p1=101325

t3=2300

#goeometric input
bore=0.1

#volume computation
v_s=(math.pi/4)*pow(bore,2)*stroke
v_c=v_s/(cr-1)
v1=v_s+v_c

#state2
v2=v_c

p2=p1*pow(v1,gamma)/pow(v2,gamma);

rhs=p1*v1/t1
t2=p2*v2/rhs

v_compression=engine_kinamatics(bore,stroke,con_rod,cr,180,0)
constant=p1*pow(v1,gamma)
p_compression=[]

for v in v_compression:
	p_compression.append(constant/pow(v,gamma))



#state 3
v3=v2
rhs=p2*v2/t2
p3=rhs*t3/v3

v_expansion=engine_kinamatics(bore,stroke,con_rod,cr,0,180)
constant=p3*pow(v3,gamma)
p_exapansion=[]



for v in v_expansion:
	p_exapansion.append(constant/pow(v,gamma))


#state4
v4=v1

p4=p3*pow(v3,gamma)/pow(v4,gamma)

t4=p4*v4/rhs;

efficiency=1-1/(pow(cr,(gamma-1)));
print(efficiency)



plt.plot([v2,v3 ],[p2,p3])
plt.plot(v_compression,p_compression )
plt.plot(v_expansion,p_exapansion )
plt.plot([v4,v1 ],[p4,p1])
plt.show()
