Air-standard closed cycles such as the Otto,
Diesel,
Ericson
and Stirling cycles, are handled here.
A typical problem could involve how the thermal efficiency changes with
the compression ratio of a Diesel cycle.
Systems involving closed combustion process are handled here. A typical
problem could involve determination of the final pressure after a fuel and oxidizer is ignited
in a sealed container.
