AB - In the present investigation, a single-cylinder, four-stroke cycle, TD43  engine has been used to evaluate the first and second laws of thermodynamics  terms. To this aim, the first law analysis is done by using a thermo-kinetic  model. The results show a good agreement with the experimental data. Also for  the second law analysis, a developed in house computational code is applied.  Behaviors of the results have a good accordance with the literature. The  result show that an increase in the inlet charge temperature causes the  maximum pressure, indicated work availability and entropy generation per  cycle be reduced and the in-cylinder temperature, heat loss availability and  total availability be increased. Also the results show that an increase in  the engine speed causes the total availability be increased and the heat loss  availability be decreased. When the engine speed increases, reduction in the  duration of cycle evolution causes the reduction of heat transfer.
