Concept:

Since all the cycles reject their heat at the same specific volume, process line from state 4 to 1, the quantity of heat rejected from each cycle is represented by the appropriate area under the line 4 to 1 on the T-s diagram.

As is evident from the equation

The cycle which has the least heat rejected will have the highest efficiency.

Thus, the Otto cycle is the most efficient and the Diesel cycle is the least efficient of the three cycles.

For the Same Compression Ratio and the Same Heat Input

For Constant Maximum Pressure and Heat Supplied
