The 15 pages that link to Otto cycle, each with the reason it gives.

• Internal combustion engineBroader topic: It captures the idealized pressure and temperature changes in spark-ignition engines.

• Carnot cycleCompared with: It models practical gasoline engines rather than the Carnot cycle's reversible heat exchange.

• Four-stroke engineRelated: It describes the idealized heat-addition and heat-rejection sequence behind many four-stroke gasoline engines.

• Thermodynamic cycleBroader topic: Its process sequence approximates the operation of gasoline engines.

• Brayton cycleCompared with: Its constant-volume combustion idealization contrasts with Brayton’s constant-pressure heat addition.

• Carnot's theoremCompared with: Its efficiency can be compared with the Carnot limit for the same temperature extremes.

• Spark-ignition engineRelated: Its four idealized strokes describe the engine’s compression, combustion, expansion, and exhaust.

• Wankel engineRelated: It describes the idealized compression and heat-release sequence behind spark-ignition operation.

• Diesel cycleCompared with: Its constant-volume heat addition differs from the Diesel cycle’s constant-pressure addition.

• Rudolf DieselCompared with: Its constant-volume heat addition contrasts with the Diesel cycle’s constant-pressure model.

• Alphonse Beau de RochasRelated: It models the thermodynamic process underlying many engines built around the four-stroke principle.

• Stirling cycleCompared with: It shares constant-volume transitions but lacks the Stirling cycle’s regenerative isotherms.

• Carnot heat engineCompared with: Unlike the Carnot cycle, it models heat addition and rejection at constant volume.

• Nicolaus OttoBroader topic: The cycle bears Otto’s name and idealizes the engine’s operation.

• Pistonless rotary engineRelated: Many spark-ignition rotary engines approximate this cycle despite their different moving geometry.
