the isentropic expansion (3-4) of an Otto cycle (1-2-3-4) is further allowed to proceed to
the lowest cycle pressure so as to increase the work output. With this modification the
cycle is known as Atkinson cycle. The cycle is shown on p-v and T-s diagrams in

Thermal Efficiency:
Heat supplied = C v ( T3 - T2 )
Heat rejected = Cp ( T4 - T1 )
Net workdone = C v ( T3 - T2 ) - Cp ( T4 - T1 )
C v ( T3 - T2 ) - Cp ( T4 - T1 )
