The idealized four-stroke Otto cycle
p-V diagram: the intake (A) stroke is performed by an
isobaric expansion, followed by the compression (B) stroke, performed by an
adiabatic compression. Through the combustion of fuel an
isochoric process is produced, followed by an adiabatic expansion, characterizing the power (C) stroke. The cycle is closed by an isochoric process and an isobaric compression, characterizing the exhaust (D) stroke.
