Why cylinders do not fire at the same time?
The point of having multi cylinder engines is to NOT have them fire all at once but have equal amount of time between the firing order of each cylinder during the rotation of the crankshaft to generate a smoother power delivery.
What is efficiency of Otto cycle?
About 70-75% is rejected as waste heat without being converted into useful work, i.e. work delivered to wheels. When we rewrite the expression for thermal efficiency using the compression ratio, we conclude the air-standard Otto cycle thermal efficiency is a function of compression ratio and κ = cp/cv.
Can two cylinders fire at same time?
It is technically possible to have two pistons fire at the same time, but there is no real advantage to it. You’ll lose smoothness and increase durabiliy issues.
Do all cylinders fire at the same time?
Which cycle has highest efficiency?
Carnot cycle
Any engine that uses the Carnot cycle enjoys the maximum theoretical efficiency. While Carnot engines are ideal engines, in reality, no engine achieves Carnot’s theoretical maximum efficiency, since dissipative processes, such as friction, play a role.

What are the firing orders of a 4 stroke engine?
From figure 4 cylinder #1 fires in the first 120 degrees. In the next 120 degrees (240 degrees), as cylinder #1 moves from the power stroke to the exhaust stroke, cylinder #4 fires. In the next 120 degrees (360 degrees), as cylinder #4 moves from the power stroke to the exhaust stroke, cylinder #3 fires.
How often does a 4 cylinder engine fire?
For every 720 degrees the crankshaft turns, the camshaft turns 360 degrees causing all cylinders to fire once. In a 4-cylinder engine such as the one in Figure 1, by the time the crankshaft turns twice, the camshaft would have turned once, firing all 4 cylinders once.
Why are cylinders not fired at regular intervals?
Note however that in some V engines, especially V8 engines and above, manufacturers or engine builders don’t necessarily fire cylinders at regular intervals; this is a concept of engine design called uneven firing. This is done to obtain an aggressive burbling and throaty engine sound. Uneven firing orders will not be discussed in this article.
