.To compare the effects of different cycles, it is of paramount importance that the effect of the calorific value of the fuel is altogether eliminated and this can be achieved by considering air (which is assumed to behave as a perfect gas) as the working substance in the engine cylinder. The efficiency of engine using air as the working medium is known as an “Air standard efficiency”. This efficiency is often called ideal efficiency. The actual efficiency of a cycle is always less than the air-standard efficiency of that cycle under ideal conditions. This is taken into account by introducing a new term “Relative efficiency” which is defined as the ratio of Actual thermal efficiency to Air standard efficiency...
