UNIT-1 Actual Cycles and their Analysis : Introduction, Comparison of Air Standard and Actual Cycles, Time Loss  Factor, Heat Loss Factor, Exhaust Blow down-Loss due to Gas exchange process, Volumetric Efficiency. Loss  due to Rubbing Friction, Actual and Fuel-Air Cycles of CI Engines. Introduction :     The actual cycles for IC engines differ from the Fuel-air cycles and air standard cycles in many respects. The actual cycle efficiency is much lower than the air-standard cycle efficiency due to various losses . The major losses are followed as Variation of specific heat with temperature Dissociation of the combustion products Progressive combustion Incomplete combustion of fuel Heat transfer into the walls of the combustion chamber Blow down at the end of the exhaust process Gas exchange process Comparison of Air Standard and Actual Cycles :   The Actual cycle in internal combustion engine is different when compared to Air ...
