Diesel Cycle Efficiency Calculator

Calculate ideal Diesel cycle efficiency η = 1 − (1/r^(γ−1)) × ((r_c^γ − 1)/(γ(r_c − 1))) where r is compression ratio and r_c is cutoff ratio. Higher r than Otto cycle with no knock risk.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How to Use

Enter the values for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate ideal Diesel cycle efficiency η = 1 − (1/r^(γ−1)) × ((r_c^γ − 1)/(γ(r_c − 1))) where r is compression ratio and r_c is cutoff ratio. Higher r than Otto cycle with no knock risk. Use the diesel cycle result to inform your clinical assessment.
