. The most perfect ideal cycle, represented by Fig. 46, has four strokes of unequal length soarranged that the piston starts fromthe head of the cylinder when gas isdrawn in, and the pressure in thecylinder is reduced to that of theatmosphere before the exhaust stroke.Thus there is the filling… … HOT-AIR ENGINES AND GAS-ENGINES. 205 be performed by adding heat at constant volume from D toA, and withdrawing heat at constant pressure from B to C,together with the adiabatic expansion and compression ABand CD. The heat added under this assumption is cv( Ta — Td),and the heat rejected is cp(Tb —…
