Abstract
In this article, the first and second-laws analysis of the thermodynamic Dual cycle with considering
of heat loss are investigated by using finite-time thermodynamics (FTT). The influences of various
factors (e.g. initial temperature of working fluid, constants related to combustion and heat transfer
through the cylinder wall) on the performance of Dual cycle are analyzed. As well as, the curve of the
first-law efficiency versus compression ratio, the net work output versus compression ratio, the second-
law efficiency versus compression ratio and the second-law efficiency versus the first-law efficiency are
indicated. The finding results in this article can be useful for analysis of Dual cycles.
Keywords: Finite-time thermodynamics; Air-standard Dual cycle; Heat loss; Compression ratio; Net
work output; First-law efficiency; Second-law efficiency
1. Introduction
The air-standard Dual cycle (or Dual combustion cycle) is a thermodynamic cycle that is a
combination of the Otto cycle and the Diesel cycle, first introduced by Russian-German engineer
Gustav Trinkler. The first-law efficiency (thermal efficiency) is an important thermodynamic
parameter for analysis of a cycle. The Second-law analysis is a good benchmark for the
availability of systems. The second-law efficiency is the ratio of the actual first-law efficiency to
the maximum possible (reversible) thermal efficiency under the same conditions [1]. For the
work-producing devices, the second-law efficiency can also be expressed as the ratio of the useful

work output to the maximum possible (reversible) work output [1, 2]. In recent years, many
attentions have been paid in order to analyzing the performances of the Dual cycle, other air-
standard cycles and second-law analysis. Ozsoysal [3] investigated effects of combustion
efficiency on a Dual cycle. Chen et al. [4] studied effects of heat transfer, friction and variable
specific heats of working fluid on performance of an irreversible Dual cycle. Ge et al. [5]
investigated finite-time thermodynamic modeling and analysis for an irreversible Dual cycle. Hou
[6] studied heat transfer effect on the performance of an air standard Dual cycle. Chen et al. [7]
studied optimal performance of an irreversible Dual -cycle. Ust et al. [8] investigated
optimizations of a Dual cycle cogeneration system based on a new exergetic performance
criterion. Wang et al. [9] investigated the effects of friction on the performance of an air standard
Dual cycle. Ahmadi et al. [10] studied thermodynamic analysis and thermoeconomic optimization
of a Dual pressure combined cycle power plant with a supplementary firing unit. Parlak [11]
investigated comparative performance analysis of irreversible Dual and Diesel cycles under
maximum power conditions. Gahruei et al. [12] studied Mathematical modeling and comparison
of air standard Dual and Dual-Atkinson cycles with friction, heat transfer and variable specific
heats of the working fluid. Lior et al. [13] investigated energy, exergy, and second Law
performance criteria and Rashidi et al. [14] studied first and second law analysis of an ejector
expansion Joule–Thomson cryogenic refrigeration cycle. In this article, the first and the second-
laws analysis of an air-standard Dual cycle with heat loss is investigated.
2. Thermodynamic analysis
The T-s and the P-v diagrams of an air-standard Dual cycle are shown in Figures 1 and 2. The
Dual cycle consists of five processes, isentropic compression (1→2), heat addition occur at two
processes, constant-volume (2→3) and constant-pressure (3→4), isentropic expansion (4→5) and
constant-volume heat rejection (5→1).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For an ideal Dual cycle, the heat added per unit mass of the working fluid during constant -
volume and constant-pressure processes is defined as:
qin Cv T3 T2 C p T4 T3 , (1)
For a real Dual cycle, the heat loss between the working fluid and the cylinder wall is not
negligible. It is assumed that the heat loss through the cylinder wall is proportional to the average
temperature of both the working fluid and the cylinder wall and that the wall temperature is
assumed constant. The heat added per unit mass of the working fluid by combustion is defined as
[4]:
qin A B T2 T4 , (2)
where, A and B are two constants related to the combustion and heat transfer respectively.
Combining Eqs (1) and (2):

The net work output per unit mass of the working fluid for the Dual cycle is given by the
following equation:
The second-law analysis is a good benchmark for the availability of systems that is described
as the ratio of the actual thermal efficiency (first-law efficiency) to the maximum possible
(reversible) thermal efficiency under the same conditions. For the work-producing devices, the
second-law efficiency can also be expressed as the ratio of the useful net work output to the
maximum possible (reversible) net work output [1, 2]. According to above description, the
second-law efficiency of an air-standard Dual cycle is defined as:
wnet
II , (14)
wmax
319
International Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical and Computer Technology
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
where, wmax is maximum possible net work of the Dual cycle. On the other hand, wmax is
defined as follow:
where, max is maximum efficiency (the Carnot efficiency) and for the Dual cycle defined as:
T
II 1 1 (16)
T4
So, according to Eqs. (1) and (16), Eq. (15) can be written as:
T1
wmax Cv T3 T2 C p T4 T3 1 (17)
T4
Finally, by substituting Eqs. (12) and (17) into Eq. (14), the second -law efficiency of an air-
standard Dual cycle is as follows:
Cv T3 T1 T2 T5 C p T4 T3
II
T (18)
Cv T3 T2 C p T4 T3 1 1

Figures 3-5, show that the effects of parameters A , B and T 1 on curve of the first-law efficiency
versus the compression ratio. A and B are the total input heat and the loss heat respectively.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to these graphs and Eq. (2), the first-law efficiency increases with increasing A and with
decreasing B and T 1 .
Figures 6-8, show that the effects of parameters A , B and T 1 on curve of the net work output
versus the compression ratio. It can be seen that the net work output increases with increasing A and
with decreasing B and T 1 . The maximum value of the net work output occur at the compression ratio
less 20.
Figures 9-11, show that the effects of parameters A , B and T 1 on curve of the net work output
versus the first-law efficiency. It can be seen that these figures are loop-shaped. The net work output and
first-law efficiency increase with increasing A and with decreasing B and T 1 . Effects of parameters
A , B and T 1 on curve of the second-law efficiency versus the compression ratio illustrate in figures
12-14. The second-law efficiency versus the compression ratio under variation of parameters A ,
B and T 1 behave like the first-law efficiency at the same condition (figures 3-5).
Figures 15-17, show that the effects of parameters A , B and T 1 on curve of the net work output
versus the second-law efficiency. It can be seen that these figures are loop-shaped too and the maximum
value of the second-law efficiency occur at the maximum value of the net work output. The net work
output and second-law efficiency increase with increasing A and with decreasing B and T 1 . Finally,
the curves of the first-law efficiency versus the second-law efficiency with variation of parameters
A , B and T 1 depict in figures 18-20. These curves are sharp loop-shaped and the maximum value of
the second-law efficiency occur at the maximum value of the first-law efficiency.

In this article, the first and second-laws analysis of an air-standard Dual cycle with consideration of
heat loss have been analyzed. The effects of initial temperature, combustion and heat transfer factors on
the first-law efficiency, second-law efficiency and the net work output have been shown. The finding
