Considering nonlinear variation of working fluid's specific heat with its temperature, finite-
time thermodynamic theory is applied to analyze and optimize the characteristics of an …

In this paper, the first and second-laws efficiencies are applied to performance analysis of an
irreversible Miller cycle. In the irreversible cycle, the linear relation between the specific heat …

Duplex Stirling refrigerator is one of the best alternative systems for providing green and
clean energy solutions. It consists of Stirling refrigerator and Stirling heat engine in a back to …

A novel realistic Work Criteria Function (WCF) approach has been used to analyze the ideal
air-standard Diesel cycle. The WCF formulation gives rise to a new performance criterion …

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 …

Although various investigations of Atkinson cycle have been carried out, distinct output
power and thermal efficiencies of the engine have been achieved. In this regard, thermal …

In this paper, the first and second-law analysis for the thermodynamic air-standard Atkinson
cycle with an account for heat transfer is performed using finite-time thermodynamics. In …
