The Otto cycle idealizes a gasoline engine: adiabatic compression, constant-volume combustion, adiabatic expansion (the power stroke), and exhaust. Its efficiency, η = 1 − 1/r^(γ−1), depends only on the compression ratio. Higher compression means more efficiency — until the fuel pre-ignites and knocks, which is why octane rating matters.

Governing equation

η = 1 - \frac{1}{r ^{γ - 1}} = 1 - \frac{1}{9 ^{1.40 - 1}} = 58.5%

Reading this result: Efficiency (58%) depends only on the 9:1 compression ratio and γ, not on how much fuel you burn — adding heat gives more power at the same efficiency ceiling.

About this simulation

The full Otto Cycle tool models a fabric weave with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
