Diesel engines doehdbk1018193 diesel engine fundamentals the cylinder block the cylinder block, as shown in figure 4, is generally a single unit made from cast iron. An important aspect of power generation involves the supply of heat to the working fluid, which in the case of steam.
In order to express the efficiency of the otto cycle, we need to evaluate the work performed by the gas during one cycle and the heat which the gas received during this cycle.
