The 1asic engine per%ormance cycles are controlle# 1y the cran! rotation. The cran! rotation in

events occurring in the piston7cylin#er space. >ence%orth this space ill 1e re%erre# to simply as the

ere achieve#. $or the heat trans%er mo#el the results o1taine# ere 8uite goo#. >oever+ the resultso1taine# %rom the last simulation here it as a##e# the heat trans%er mo#el plus the com1ustion
