Mathematical modeling and comparison of air standard dual and dual-Atkinson cycles with friction, heat transfer and variable specific-heats of the working fluid. (English) Zbl 1426.80002

Summary: Based on finite-time thermodynamics, a comparative performance analysis of air standard Dual and Dual-Atkinson cycles with heat-transfer loss, friction like term losses and variable specific-heats of the working fluid have been performed. Also the effects of heat loss, as characterized by a percentage of the fuel’s energy, friction and variable specific-heats of the working fluid, on performance of the mentioned irreversible cycles are analyzed. Moreover, detailed numerical examples show the relations between the power output and the compression ratio, between the thermal efficiency and the compression ratio, as well as the optimal relation between the power output and the thermal efficiency of cycles. Results show the importance of consideration of heat loss effects on the both cycles’ performance. Also performance comparison of two cycles show that heat efficiency and power output of a Dual-Atkinson cycle are higher than a Dual cycle’s ones. The results obtained from this paper will provide guidance for the design of Dual-Atkinson engines.
