    10 Lenoir Cycle

    The Lenoir cycle consists of constant volume heat addition, reversible adiabatic expansion with no compression process. The efficiency is derived showing heat added, heat rejected and temperatures at different points in the cycle. No work is done during the constant volume heat addition process.

    The Lenoir cycle consists of the following processes:

    • Process 1-2: Constant volume heat addition

    • Process 2-3: Reversible adiabatic expansion

    • Process 3-4: Constant pressure heat rejection.

    • No compression process.

    The thermal efficiency can be derived as follows:

    Heat added - Heat rejected C v ( T2 - T1 ) - Cp ( T3 - T1 )


    ηth = =
    Heat added C v ( T2 - T1 )
