The 10 pages that link to Diesel cycle, each with the reason it gives.

• Internal combustion engineBroader topic: It distinguishes the idealized heat-addition process associated with diesel engines.

• Diesel engineBroader topic: It models the compression and expansion underlying diesel-engine operation.

• Adiabatic processBroader topic: Its compression and power strokes use adiabatic relations to model gas behavior.

• Carnot cycleCompared with: Its process sequence reflects diesel-engine operation, unlike the Carnot cycle's isothermal steps.

• Thermodynamic cycleBroader topic: It models the defining heat-addition stage of compression-ignition engines.

• Brayton cycleCompared with: Both cycles include constant-pressure heat addition, but Diesel engines use reciprocating compression and expansion.

• Carnot's theoremCompared with: It offers a practical engine model whose efficiency remains bounded by Carnot's theorem.

• Rudolf DieselBroader topic: It provides a theoretical model associated with the engine Diesel pursued.

• Alphonse Beau de RochasCompared with: It models compression-ignition engines rather than the spark-ignition cycle most associated with Beau de Rochas's principles.

• Carnot heat engineCompared with: It predicts performance for a practical engine model rather than a reversible limit.
