Mixed/dual cycle

Thedual combustion cycle(also known as themixed cycle,Trinkler cycle,SeiligercycleorSabathe cycle) is a thermal cycle that is a combination of theOtto cycleand theDiesel cycle,first introduced by Russian-German engineer Gustav Trinkler, who never claimed to have developed the cycle himself.^[1]Heat is added partly at constant volume (isochoric) and partly at constant pressure (isobaric),^[2]the significance of which is that more time is available for the fuel to completely combust. Because of lagging characteristics of fuel this cycle is invariably used for Diesel andhot spotignition engines. It consists of two adiabatic and two constant volume and one constant pressure processes.

The dual cycle consists of following operations:

Process 1-2: Isentropic compression
Process 2-3: Addition of heat at constant volume.
Process 3-4: Addition of heat at constant pressure.
Process 4-5: Isentropic expansion.
Process 5-1: Rejection of heat at constant volume.
