A new comparative study on performance of engine cycles under maximum thermal efficiency condition

As the parameters involved in the brake thermal efficiency of the engine cycles affect each other, the simultaneous investigation of the critical parameters, non-critical parameters, and the maximum temperature of the working fluid involved to optimize the brake thermal efficiency of the engine cycl...

description As the parameters involved in the brake thermal efficiency of the engine cycles affect each other, the simultaneous investigation of the critical parameters, non-critical parameters, and the maximum temperature of the working fluid involved to optimize the brake thermal efficiency of the engine cycles is vital to implement the theoretical proposition into practical design perspectives. For this reason, a new method to compare the thermal efficiency of the engine cycles has been carried out with the simultaneous application of the optimal cycle design parameters (the geometric-compression ratio, expansion–compression​ ratio, and pressure ratio), the operating parameters (the heat-transfer loss, heat-release during combustion, friction loss, temperature-dependent specific heat ratio of the working fluid, and initial temperature of the working fluid), and the maximum temperature of the working fluid.
