Thermal efficiency of Otto Cycle:

\({\eta _{otto}} = 1 - \frac{1}{{{r^{\gamma - 1}}}}\)

Compression ratio: r = v1/v2

Conclusion:

\(\eta = f\left( {r,\gamma } \right)\)

From the above equation, it can be observed that the efficiency of the Otto cycle is mainly the function of compression ratio for the given ratio of Cp and Cv i.e. ratio of specific heats.
