Reciprocating IC engines are traditionally modeled as operating on air standard cycles that approximate indicator diagrams obtained in experiments on real engines. These indicator diagrams can best be approximated by the dual cycle for both gasoline and diesel engines. Analysis of air standard cycles unfortunately fails to capture second law effects such as exergy destruction due to the irreversibility of combustion. Indeed, a complete thermodynamic study of any process requires application of both the first and second laws of thermodynamics. This article gives a combined first and second law analysis of reciprocating IC engines in general with optimization of performance as primary goal. A practical dual-like cycle is assumed for the operation of a typical reciprocating IC engine and process efficiencies are assigned to allow for irreversibilities in the compression and expansion processes. The combustion process is modeled instead of being replaced simply by a heat input process to air as is common in air standard cycle analysis. The study shows that performance of the engine can indeed be optimized on the basis of geometrical design parameters such as the compression ratio as well as the air-fuel ratio used for the combustion.

The methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) process is a very advantageous way to upgrade methanol to more valuable commodity chemicals such as light alkenes and gasoline. There is general agreement that, at steady state, the process operates via a dual cycle “hydrocarbon pool” mechanism. This mechanism defines a minimum number of reactants, intermediates, and products that must be present for the reaction to occur. In this paper, we calculate (by three independent methods) the volume required for a range of compounds that must be present in a working catalyst. These are compared to the available volume in a range of zeolites that have been used, or tested, for MTH. We show that this straightforward comparison provides a means to rationalize the product slate and the deactivation pathways in zeotype materials used for the MTH reaction.
