The figure shown above was generated by calculating efficiencies of air-standard thermodynamic cycles.
The efficiencies may also be expressed as the equations:
Using this analysis, the thermodynamic efficiency of the HEHC cycle is shown to be ~ 37% greater than Otto / Diesel cycles. Note, for a more in-depth analysis, please download our paper presented at the 2005 ASME conference on Internal Combustion Engines, from the Information page.
