Exhaust Process
The exhaust process consists of two steps:
blowdown and exhaust stroke.
When the exhaust valve opens near the
end of the expansion stroke (point 4 in
Fig. 3-6), the high-temperature gases are
suddenly subjected to a pressure
decrease as the resulting blowdown
occurs.
A large percentage of the gases leaves the
combustion chamber during this blowdown process, driven by the pressure
differential across the open exhaust valve.
When the pressure across the exhaust valve is finally equalized, the cylinder is still filled
with exhaust gases at the exhaust manifold pressure of about one atmosphere.
These gases are then pushed out of the cylinder through the still open exhaust valve by the
piston as it travels from BDC to TDC during the exhaust stroke.

Exhaust Process
Gas leaving the combustion chamber
during the blowdown process will also
have kinetic energy due to high velocity
flow through the exhaust valve.
This kinetic energy will very quickly be
dissipated in the exhaust manifold, and
there will be a subsequent rise in
enthalpy and temperature.
The first elements of gas leaving the
combustion chamber will have the
highest velocity and will therefore reach
the highest temperature when this
velocity is dissipated (point 7a in Fig. 3-6).
Exhaust Process
Each subsequent element of gas will
have less velocity and will thus
experience less temperature rise
(points 7b, 7c, etc.).
The last elements of gas leaving the
combustion chamber during blowdown and the gas pushed out during
the exhaust stroke will have relatively
low kinetic energy and will have a
temperature very close to T7.
Exhaust Process
Choked flow (sonic velocity) will be experienced across the exhaust valve at the
start of blowdown, and this determines the resulting gas velocity and kinetic
energy.
If possible, it is desirable to mount the turbine of a turbocharger very close to the
exhaust manifold. This is done so that exhaust kinetic energy can be utilized in
the turbine.
The state of the exhaust gas during the exhaust stroke is best approximated by a
pressure of one atmosphere, a temperature of T7 given in Eq. (3-37), and a
specific volume shown at point 7 in Fig. 3-6.
It will be noted that this is inconsistent with Fig. 3-6 for the exhaust stroke
process 5-6.
Exhaust Process
The figure would suggest that the
specific volume v changes during
process 5-6.
This
inconsistency
occurs
because Fig. 3-6 uses a closed
system model to represent an
open system process, the exhaust
stroke.
Also, it should be noted that
point 7 is a hypothetical state and
corresponds to no actual physical
piston position.

The temperature of the intake air can be
assumed to be the same even though it has
experienced a pressure reduction expansion
when passing the throttle valve.
This is because it still flows through the same
hot intake manifold after the throttle.
However, the temperature of the exhaust
residual will be reduced due to the expansion
cooling it undergoes when the intake valve
opens and the pressure in the cylinder drops to
50 kPa.
The temperature of the exhaust residual after
expansion can be approximated using Fig. 3-4
and the isentropic expansion model such that:
