      A related cycle, the Atkinson cycle, is one in which the expansion stroke continues until the cylinder pressure at point 4 decreases to atmospheric pressure. This cycle is named after James Atkinson (1846–1914), an English engineer, who invented and built an engine he named the images engine in 1889. This engine had a two‐bar linkage between the connecting rod and the crankshaft so that the piston traveled through four unequal strokes in every crankshaft revolution. The expansion to intake stroke ratio was 1.78:1. Honda (Takita et al. 2011) has recently produced an Atkinson cycle engine by adding a trigonal link, swing rod, and eccentric shaft to a conventional connecting rod and crankshaft assembly. The engine is used in a micro combined heat and power generation (CHP) application. The engine images, with an expansion ratio images and compression ratio of images. The brake thermal efficiency is 26.3% compared to 22.5% for a conventional engine.

      Example 2.2 Miller Cycle Analysis

      Derive the equations for the Miller cycle efficiency, Equation (2.36), and the Miller cycle imep, Equation (2.37).

      Solution

      We need to write images and imep as a function of images and images. Using a state by state cycle analysis,

      The simple gas cycle models assume that the heat rejection process occurs at constant volume, and neglect the gas flow that occurs when the intake and exhaust valves are opened and closed. In this section, we use the energy equation to model the exhaust and intake strokes, and determine the residual fraction of gas remaining in the cylinder.

      At this level of modeling, we need to make some assumptions about the operation of the intake and exhaust valves. During the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve is assumed to open instantaneously at bottom dead center and close instantaneously at top dead center. Similarly, during the intake stroke, the intake valve is assumed to open at top dead center and remain open until bottom dead center. The intake and exhaust valve overlap, that is, the time during which they are open simultaneously, is therefore assumed to be zero.

      The intake and exhaust strokes are also assumed to occur adiabatically and at constant pressure. Constant pressure intake and exhaust processes occur only at low engine speeds. More realistic computations model the instantaneous pressure drop across the valves and furthermore would account for the heat transfer, which is especially significant during the exhaust. Such considerations are deferred to Chapters 5 and 9.

      Exhaust Stroke

      Therefore, the temperature and pressure of the exhaust gases remaining in the cylinder are

      (2.38)equation

      (2.39)equation

      As the piston moves upward from bottom dead center, it pushes the remaining cylinder gases out of the cylinder. The cylinder pressure is assumed to remain constant at images. Since internal combustion engines have a clearance volume, not all of the gases will be pushed out. There will be exhaust gas left in the clearance volume, called residual gas. This gas will mix with the incoming air or fuel–air mixture, depending on the location of the fuel injectors.
