Introduction :
In this unit we are to discuss the meaning of standard cycle, heat supplied at constant

The air standard cycle is a cycle followed by a heat engine which uses air as the
working medium. Since the air standard analysis is the simplest and most idealistic,
such cycles are also called ideal cycles and the engine running on such cycles are
called ideal engines.
In order that the analysis is made as simple as possible, certain assumptions have
to be made.
These assumptions result in an analysis that is far from correct for most actual
combustion engine processes, but the analysis is of considerable value for indicating
the upper limit of performance.
The analysis is also a simple means for indicating the relative effects of principal
variables of the cycle and the relative size of the apparatus.
Assumptions:
1. The working medium is a perfect gas with constant specific heats and molecular
weight corresponding to values at room temperature.
2. No chemical reactions occur during the cycle. The heat addition and heat rejection
processes are merely heat transfer processes.
3. The processes are reversible.
4. Losses by heat transfer from the apparatus to the atmosphere are assumed to be zero
in this analysis.
5. The working medium at the end of the process (cycle) is unchanged and is at the
same condition as at the beginning of the process (cycle).

Compression ratio

taken to be the same as the compression ratio of the actual engine,
