Diesel Cycle Analysis

Course No. M-1033

Credit: 1 PDH

Course Fee: $28.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Gordan Feric, P.E.

 

Overview

The ideal cycle for a simple diesel engine is the Diesel Cycle. In this one hour online course, the open, simple Diesel Cycle used for stationary power generation is considered.

The Diesel Cycle thermal efficiency is presented only for the air as the working fluid. The thermal efficiency derivation is presented with a simple mathematical approach. The Diesel Cycle is presented in the p - V and T - s diagrams and its major performance trends (thermal efficiency and power output) are plotted in a few figures as a function of compression pressure and cut off ratio values, combustor outlet temperature and some fixed cylinder geometry. It should be noted that this online course does not deal with costs (capital, operational or maintenance).

To receive PDH credit, the student must take a multiple choice quiz of ten (10) questions.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Know basic components of the Diesel Cycle and its p - V and T - s diagrams
  • Be familiar with the Diesel Cycle operation
  • Understand general Diesel Cycle performance trends
