How does the ideal Diesel cycle differ from the ideal Otto cycle?
Added by Tasha W.
Step 1
Both the ideal Diesel cycle and the ideal Otto cycle are theoretical thermodynamic cycles that represent the operation of internal combustion engines. However, they differ in the way they achieve heat addition and combustion. Show more…

An ideal Diesel cycle is very close to an ideal Otto cycle. What is the main difference between the two air-standard cycles? The Diesel cycle assumes constant pressure heat addition and Otto cycle has assumes constant volume. The Diesel cycle assumes constant pressure heat rejection and Otto cycle has assumes constant volume. Fuel injection and the compression ratio. The Diesel cycle assumes constant volume heat addition and Otto cycle has assumes constant pressure. The Diesel cycle assumes constant volume heat rejection and Otto cycle has assumes constant pressure.
