However, there are potential benefits in cycle efficiency, lifetime, and weight compared with rechargeable systems.
Mathematically, it is represented as where is the cycle efficiency and is the propulsive efficiency.
The cycle efficiency, in percent, is the proportion of energy that can be derived from the energy source that is converted to mechanical energy by the engine.
Modern engines have compression ratios in the range 8 to 11, resulting in ideal cycle efficiencies of 56% to 61%.
The recuperator preheats the combustion air by recovering waste energy from the exhaust, improving cycle efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.
As a CHP or heat delivery plant, the cycle efficiency is approaching 85%.
Keep in mind that turbine efficiency is different from the cycle efficiency of the engine using the turbine.
In addition to propulsive efficiency, another factor is cycle efficiency; essentially a jet engine is typically a form of heat engine.
Despite that burden, the cycle efficiency of the translated code matched the cycle efficiency of the original stack code.
In any real cycle, the presence of irreversibilities lowers the cycle efficiency.
