THERMAL ENGINE WITH DIFFERENTIATED CYCLE COMPOSED OF TWO ISOCHORIC PROCESSES, FOUR ISOTHERMAL PROCESS AND TWO ADIABATIC PROCESSES, AND PROCESS FOR CONTROLLING THE THERMODYNAMIC CYCLE OF THE THERMAL ENGINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a thermal, external combustion engine, or to the utilisation of the combustion exhaust of any other process, and to its thermodynamic cycle with eight processes, more specifically to a thermal machine characterised by two interconnected but interdependent thermodynamic subsystems, each operating with a thermodynamic cycle comprising four processes, forming a complex cycle with eight processes, the engine operating with gas. The circuit of this binary system is closed, with a differentiated configuration, is based on the concept of hybrid thermodynamic system. A thermodynamic cycle composed of eight processes is conducted in this system, such that in any moment of the cycle, two simultaneous, interdependent and complementary processes are being carried out: two "isochoric", four "isothermal" and two "adiabatic" processes with variable mass transfer which can be null or partial.
