Energy Conversion from Internal Combustion Engines Exhaust Gases using the Inverted Brayton Cycle

In this study, we demonstrate the capability of the IBC (Inverted Brayton Cycle) to convert the energy from exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine into mechanical energy. For this purpose, we analyzed two energy systems. The first system is the IBC installed in series with a gas turbine, combining the Joule-Brayton cycle with the inverted Brayton cycle (JBC-IBC). The second system is the IBC installed in series with a diesel engine, combining the Diesel cycle with the inverted Brayton cycle (DC-IBC).
