Otto Cycle or What Is Behind the Simplified FormulaThis chapter explains how the usual simplified formula to calculate thermal efficiency of an internal combustion engine is appears. Described Internet sites with the "reverse" design challenge—you mus...

Otto determined that the efficiency η of the cycle is limited to ηo ≤ 1 − ( Vh Vc Cp ) Cv −1, where Vc/h and Tc/h are the volume and temperature of the working medium at the end of the hot and cold isochores, respectively. Cp and Cv are the heat capacities under ...
The quantum Otto cycle serves as a bridge between the macroscopic world of heat engines and the quantum regime of thermal devices composed from a single element. We compile recent studies of the quantum Otto cycle with a harmonic oscillator as a working
