'''Engine displacement''' is the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. A '''combustion chamber''' is part of an internal combustion engine in which the fuel/air mix is burned.

Introduction

  1. Isentropic (adiabatic) expansion
  2. Isochoric cooling (Qout): Heat rejection. Power stroke ends, heat rejection starts.
  3. Isobaric compression: Exhaust
  4. Isobaric expansion: Intake
  5. Isentropic (adiabatic) compression
  6. Isobaric heating (Qin): Combustion of fuel (heat is added in a constant pressure;)

Engine displacement is the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. A combustion chamber is part of an internal combustion engine in which the fuel/air mix is burned.

Realistic Diesel Cycle

Mercedes Benz W211(2003)

  • Engine displacement: 3222 cm3
  • Bore x Stroke: 88.0 x 88.4 mm3
  • Compression Ratio: 18.0

Bore x stroke gives V = 6xπ(8.8/2)2 x 8.84 cm3 = 3225.95cm3, which is rather close.
