Abstract
This paper presents an algorithm for determining the dynamic parameters of the main classic mechanism of internal combustion engines. It shows the distribution of forces (on the main engine mechanism) to internal combustion engines. With these forces and together with the kinematic coupling speeds, the efficiency of the thermal engine is determined. The method applies separately for two distinct situations: When the engine is working as a compressor and as a motor mechanism. For the two separate cases, two independent formulas for engine efficiency are obtained. These relationships are then calculated in terms of Otto's mechanical efficiency in four-stroke, two-stroke and four-stroke. The final power of the engine is obtained taking into account the thermal efficiency of the Carnot cycle.
Highlights
The old gasoline engine wears us every day for almost 150 years
The future sounds good for Otto and even Diesel, because today there are technological processes to turn the gas into any desired type of fuel, gasoline, diesel
The electric engine will have to come in a package with many real improvements to replace Otoo and Diesel on future cars
Summary
The old gasoline engine wears us every day for almost 150 years. The old Otto engine (and his brother, Diesel) is today: Younger, more robust, more dynamic, stronger, more economical, more independent, more reliable, quieter, cleaner, more compact, more sophisticated and especially necessary. We can eliminate approximately 60,000 cars annually. Every year there are millions of other cars. The planet supports about a billion vehicles in circulation. Even if we stop the total production of thermal engines, we will still need 10,000 years to eliminate the total car fleet. Electric current is still largely produced by burning hydrocarbons, which makes hydrocarbon losses higher when using electric motors. When we have electricity obtained only from green, sustainable and renewable energy sources, only electric motors can be introduced gradually
