AB - In this paper, finite-time thermodynamic analysis of an air-standard  internal-combustion Dual cycle is performed. Maximum power (MP), maximum  power density (MPD), maximum efficient power (MEP) which are three  alternative performance criteria are derived. The effects of the design  parameters such as volume ratio and extreme temperature ratio of the cycle  have been investigated under MP, MPD and MEP conditions. The analyzed results  of air-standard internal-combustion Dual cycle showed the design parameters  at maximum power (MP) conditions and maximum efficient power (MEP) conditions  have a significant advantage compared to maximum power density (MPD)  criterion.
