This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the ideal adiabatic Otto cycle engine. The analysis was made to examine the influence of compression ratio and dissociation on engine thermal efficiency over an extreme range of compression ratios (that is, 4-300) to see if chemical dissociation could limit Otto cycle engine thermal efficiency.
