Option 2 : Decrease in specific heat ratio of working fluid with rise in temperature.
Explanation:
- A decrease in the specific heat ratio of working fluid with the rise in temperature leads to the lower thermal efficiency of an actual otto cycle in comparison to the ideal Otto cycle.
- The actual Otto cycle is less efficient than the ideal Otto cycle because in an actual cycle-specific heat ratio decreases as temperature increases while in the ideal cycle it is assumed to remain constant.

Actual suction: In actual, suction will take place only if the pressure inside the cylinder is less than atmospheric pressure.

Actual compression: In actual, compression is not an adiabatic process, hence extra compression work is required to compensate for the heat loss to the water jacket.

Actual heat addition: In actual, heat addition begins when the spark begins and ends at the ignition end of the last flame front and it requires minimum piston displacement.
