CD is the explosion, DEthe adiabatic expansion, and EB the exhaust at constantvolume at the end of the stroke. The starting-point ofthe calculation of the cycle may now be taken as based THE GAS-ENGINE CYCLES 141 upon the fact that VAb = l cubic foot. If P0 is to be 75pounds per square inch, then… … Fig. aa gases in the clearance-space, or M= 0.1057. Proceedingas before, TD = 4498, ND = 0.02972, and PD = 403. Theexpansion DE cannot be carried down to atmosphericpressure, because the engines cycle limits the final volumeafter expansion to the initial volume before compression.1 1 See page 287,…
