Lenoir cycle is used for:

Concept:

Lenoir cycle

• The Lenoir cycle consists of the three processes
• Constant volume heat addition, isentropic expansion, constant pressure heat rejection

• The Lenoir cycle is used for pulse jet engines.
• The efficiency of the Lenoir cycle depends upon the pressure ratio as well as the ratio of specific heats

Additional Information​

Ericsson Cycle

An Ericsson Cycle consists of two reversible isothermal and two reversible constant pressure (isobaric) process.

Brayton Cycle

Brayton cycle is a theoretical cycle for gas turbines. This cycle consists of two reversible adiabatic or isentropic processes and two constant pressure processes. The heat addition and rejection takes place at constant pressure.

• Isentropic compression (in a compressor)
• Constant-pressure heat addition
• Isentropic expansion (in a turbine)
• Constant-pressure heat rejection

Stirling cycle

A Stirling cycle consists of two reversible isothermal and two reversible constant volume (isochoric) processes.
