	Atkinson cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atkinson cycle allows the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes of the four-stroke cycle to occur in a single turn of the crankshaft.
		The Atkinson cycle may also refer to a four stroke engine in which the intake valve is held open longer than normal to allow a reverse flow of intake air into the intake manifold.
		In all of these vehicles, the lower power level of the Atkinson cycle engine is compensated for through the use of electric motors in a hybrid electric drive train.

	Brayton cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Brayton cycle" is a constant pressure cycle named after George Brayton (1830-1892), the American engineer who developed it.
		Today the Brayton cycle is a cyclic process generally associated with the gas turbine.
		Like other internal combustion power cycles it is an open system, though for thermodynamic analysis it is a convenient fiction to assume that the exhaust gases are reused in the intake, enabling analysis as a closed system.

		The reversed gas, or Joule-Brayton cycle has been used extensively in the past for refrigeration applications wherever the fundamental requirements included the compact dimensions of the equipment (for instance, for air conditioning on board aircraft).
		The loss of efficiency with the reversed gas cycle by comparison with the steam compression cycle diminishes progressively, however, with lower temperatures of the cold source, as shown in the analysis in Figure 1.
		The refrigeration cycle is interrupted as necessary by a defrosting cycle, in which the regeneration cycle and the freezer are disabled, while the turbine is bypassed.

	Heat engine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Heat is transferred to the sink from the source, and in this process some of the heat is converted into work.
		The carnot heat engine (the ideal imaginary heat engine) has an efficency equal to (T1 - T2)/T1 where T1 is the temperature of the hot source and T2 is the temperature of the cold sink.
		The general surroundings are the heat sink, providing relatively cool gases which when heated, expand rapidly to drive the mechanical motion of the engine.

		All the classical thermodynamic cycles and all heat engines in operation today involve extraction of work during the expansion of a gas.
		In a closed cycle the expanded gas must be compressed to complete the cycle; the energy lost during compression goes into an energy sink.

	ANALYSIS OF THE ADSORPTION CYCLES WITH THERMAL REGENERATION BASED ON THE ENTROPIC MEAN TEMPERATURES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Indeed, considering the entropic cycle of the heat transfer fluid as a whole, it appears that this cycle is a combination of a Carnot engine cycle and a Joule heat pump cycle.
		The Joule heat pump cycle permits more than simple heat recovery, it permits upgrading heat from the adsorber being cooled down to the adsorber being heated up: this is thermal regeneration.
		The competition between the efficiency of the adsorption cycle, that of the thermal regeneration process and the irreversibilities in the heat transfer is highlighted.

		The ideal cycle for the simple gas turbine is the "Brayton Cycle", also called the Joule Cycle.
		The Brayton Cycle thermal efficiency is also presented (but only for the air as the working fluid) and the thermal efficiency derivation is presented with a simple mathematical approach.
		The Brayton Cycle is presented in the "T - s" diagram and its major performance trends (specific power output and power output) are plotted in figures as a function of compressor pressure ratio, gas turbine inlet temperature and working fluid mass flow rate.

	The Joule cycle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the Joule cycle an enclosed gas flows continuously to and fro between a compressor and an expander, taking in heat in one direction and giving out heat in the other.
		The natural role of the ideal Joule cycle heat engine is thus the harnessing of a temperature difference between two supplies of fluid; the two streams can, in theory, be brought to a common temperature with the accompanying delivery, by the coupled compressor and expander, of the maximum possible work.
		The author shows the feasibility of (i) a Joule engine, taking heat from gases of combustion and pre-heating the air supply, and (ii) a Joule cycle heat pump.

		In this paper the viability of an air cycle refrigeration system (Joule cycle) is investigated for a moderately low-temperature cooling system with heat recovery.
		The goal is to determine the best possible cycle configuration of heat exchangers and turbomachinery components for this particular application, and then to determine whether it can compete with a conventional vapour compression system.
		Simple models were developed for each cycle configuration, and the results were compared with each other on a consistent basis.

		The most significant difference between air refrigeration cycles and conventional vapour compression cycles is that the refrigerant (dry air) normally stays in the gas phase throughout the cycle.
		Because air cycles involve sensible heat transfer (the refrigerant stays in the gas-phase) much greater refrigerant (air) flow rates are required than in comparable vapour compression systems which include latent heat transfer.
		Most current air cycle plant use turbines because these can be made compact and can achieve high efficiencies.

		This paper describes a first-order model of a Reciprocating Joule Cycle (RJC) engine, which is then used to investigate its thermodynamic design with a view to establishing its optimum performance for a given set of operating conditions.
		The thermodynamic cycle investigated incorporates regenerative heat exchange.
		An air standard model modified to include the effects of friction, combustion, clearance volumes, leakage and pressure drops, shows that the performance of the RJC engine is strongly dependent on its operating pressure ratio and dependent to a much lesser extent on its expander to compressor swept volume ratio.

	Efficiency of a Joule-Brayton engine at maximum power density
		A new kind of power analysis is conducted on a reversible Joule-Brayton cycle.
		In the studies of Curzon and Ahlborn and others, researchers utilized the thermal efficiency at maximum power as an efficiency standard for practical heat engines.
		In this paper, instead of just maximizing power for certain cycle parameters, the power density defined as the ratio of power to the maximum specific volume in the cycle, is maximised.
