For constant maximum pressure and heat input, the air standard efficiency of gas power cycle is in the order Diesel cycle, Dual cycle, Otto cycle.
If the temperature of intake air in I.C. engine is lowered, then its efficiency will increase.
Dual Cycle is a combination of Otto cycle and Diesel cycle.
Another name for dual cycle is mixed cycle.
It mainly consist of 4 process
Process 1-2 : Reversible Adiabatic compression
Process 2-3 : Constant Volume Heat Addition
Process 3-4 : Constant Pressure Heat Addition
Process 4-5 : Reversible Adiabatic Expansion
Process 5-1 : Constant Volume Heat Rejection.
Since, Dual Cycle is a combination of Otto cycle and Diesel cycle, so in Dual cycle, generally heat addition takes place first at constant volume then at constant pressure.
The thermal efficiency of a diesel engine on weak mixtures is higher.
The combustion in compression ignition engine is heterogeneous.
In Diesel cycle, heat addition takes place at constant pressure.
