Ablauf 4 Takte
1. Intake stroke 0 - 180 Grad Isochoric: piston from TDC to BDC and sucks in a mixture of fuel and ambient air through the open untake valve of the cylinder
2. Compression stroke 180 - 360 Grad Adiabatic: piston BDC to TDC, the mixture inside the cylinder is compressed due to the closed valves. The ignition and the isochorix combustion of teh mixture finish teh compression stroke
3. Power stroke 360 - 540 Grad Adiabatic: the pressure has increased due to compression and combustion and now pushes the piston toward BDC
4. Exhaust stroke: 540 - 720 Grad Isochoric; Piston trafels from BDG to TDC and pushes teh burned gas through teh opened exhaust valve
The ignition

Isochoric
Isochor ist ein Begriff der Thermodynamik. Er beschreibt eine Zustandsänderung eines Gases, bei der das Volumen im System konstant bleibt.
spark plugs
Zündkerze
Adiabatic
Eine adiabatische Zustandsänderung (gr. α a „nicht“ und διαβαίνειν diabaínein „hindurchgehen“) ist ein thermodynamischer Vorgang, bei dem ein System von einem Zustand in einen anderen überführt wird, ohne Wärme mit seiner Umgebung auszutauschen.
the real timing of ignition
Because of the relatively low flame front velocity the ignition of the few-air mixture has to occur at approximately a 20 Grad crank before TDC !
The real timing of the valves => the maximum fuel-air mixture charge (closing)
closing the intake valve past BDC (after finishing the intake stroke)
The real timing of the valves => the maximum fuel-air mixture charge (opening)
opening the exhaust valve before BDV towards the end of the power stroke
The real timing of the valves => the maximum fuel-air mixture charge =>= Overlap at TDC
exhaust valve is still open when the intake valve opens before the end of the exhaust stroke and closes only when the intake stroke starts => Some cooling for the exhaust valve
Disel has no spark plugs => Wie zündet er?
durch geh high compression heat => Zum unterschied zum gaseoline stroke is the pressure continuous at constant pressure for a certain time
Which engine (gasonlien or disel engine) has a higher compression ratio?
Diesel
How is the ignition inititated in a gasoline engine ?
By a spark plugs
Wann entsteht der höchster Druck
nachdem man die 0 Grad Grenze überschritten hat => Sonst ganzer Druck nur auf die Kolben => Jetzt ca bei 6 Grad den dem OT den grössten Druck => Bewegt sich schon in die richtige Richtung!
Thrust equation
T = mAir (VOut - VIn) VIn = TAS mAir = the air mass flow rate
Power
Power is needed to turn the propeller
P = Torque * RPM * c ==> Force * distance * RPM * c c= Konstant factor
BHP
Brake Horse Power ==> BHP = SHP ( Shaft horse power) => This is the HP actually available at the propeller shaft and always less than indicated HP due to friction => Um zu messen muss man den Motor belasten => a pony brake or dynamometer
BHP setzt sich zusammen aus
BHP = IHP (Indicated horse power) - Friction Horsepower
Friction Horsepower
Alle Verluste die ich rechnen kann O> Power loss due to friction and power abosorbed by the engine => Pumps; M^magnetos, Alternator
Indicated Horsepower
Nur theoretisch gerechnet => without reference to friction losses within the engine
