Abstract
It is asserted that some of the mechanical engineering literature on power cycle analysis does not make sufficient use of the second law of thermodynamics. Advantages of second-law use are listed and then demonstrated through development by equations by which analysis of an air-standard diesel cycle can incorporate constant-pressure turbocharging and a Rankine bottoming cycle. Steps towards application to real machinery are also demonstrated. Four numerical examples are included.
