Not so. In the Otto cycle, the fuel and air are introduced to the cylinder

Wrong. Mr Otto invented the four stroke cycle and it is named after
him. The fuel or when it's introduced has nothing to do with it, Otto
refers to the cycle.


SO? He didn't mention fuel in the part you snipped. Diesel is a
differant cycle named after Mr. Diesel.
