my question was why is the heat addition happening only at constant pressure and why can't it be done at constant volume just like in otto cycle! what is the difference in otto cycle and diesel cycle that makes the heat addition process different ...i was asked to derive this ans in an interview...
OK baluncore...but y does the compression ignition model has ignition over a time period at constant pressure ? what is the need for that to happen at constant pressure ??
Thanks for the reply chris ...i do agree with you ..but i am looking for some kind of derivation relating with the enthalpy factor during heat addition and i hope you could relate your answer with this and find a solution ... thanks in advance ...
thanks for the reply chris...but i would like to know why does it happen like that only ...is it something related to the volatility of the diesel ...or anything related to that ...please do explain...
Why does heat addition happen at constant pressure in diesel cycle ? what is the basic concept behind it?? please do enlighten me on this topic.
thanks in advance
@Ranger Mike thanks a lot for the input...but mate i am just trying to calculate the path traced on the basis of theoretical knowledge using ackerman's theorem...its by using simple mathematical equations (sin , cos and all) so far i had been able to trace the path on a level road but when the...
@sgb27 ..it was my mistake ...i did get a circle ...it was the scaling on the xy plotter which made me see it as an elipse. As of now i have got the 2D version of plotting the traced path ...but now i have to implement the 3D version of the traced path ...(when climbing a slope ) ...Is it done...
Thanks sgb27 & ranger mike for the reply ...
i shall add some more information on the matter.consider there is no slip...i am just calculating the theoretical value of the path followed by the car when the steering wheel is locked to one side , so it should produce a circle right?
consider...
I would like to know the calculations regarding tracing of the path followed by a car during turning process. i have the following details , kindly do tell what other information is required and how the equations are formed.
front wheel track - 1559 mm
rear wheel track - 1605 mm...
