Understand that the ideal Otto cycle's efficiency depends only on compression ratio and the working fluid's specific heat ratio, and that efficiency gains shrink as compression ratio keeps climbing — which is why real engines don't just keep raising compression indefinitely.
Otto cycle efficiency: η = 1 − r^(1−γ)Keep the default compression ratio of 8 and γ = 1.4. Confirm the ideal efficiency is above 50%.
