Expalin the application of diesel cycle in detail.

Diesel cycle:

All diesel engine work on diesel cycle. In diesel cycle there are four process. These processes are as follows

1. Adiabatic reversible compression

2. Heat addition at constant pressure

3. Adiabatic reversible expansion

4. Constant volume heat rejection

In general compression ratio in diesel engine is high as compare to petrol engine. But the efficiency of diesel cycle is less as compare to petrol cycle for same compression ratio.

Applications of diesel cycle:

Generally diesel cycle used for heavy vehicle or equipment because heavy vehicle or equipment is required high initial torque. So this cycle have lots of applications such as in industrial machining, in trucks, power plant, in mining, in defense or military, large motors, compressor and pump etc.
