- Improving the thermal efficiency of internal combustion engines offers one of the most effective means of reducing energy consumption of heavy-duty transport, when compared to other solutions on the basis of both cost and overall efficiency. This paper is significant because it presents the first theoretical analysis and performance evaluation of a new engine thermodynamic cycle, which includes waste heat recovery and quasi-isothermal compression. This research, which presents the first fundamental analysis of the cycle and describes the key trade-offs between calibration and design parameters, underpinned a successful EPSRC proposal (EP/M009424/1) and a REF2021 Impact Case Study [ICS_Ricardo].
