The cards are obtained by a point-to-point method giving the average of a large number of engine cycles.

The two-stroke engine cycle is different, as is the diesel cycle described above.

Second, specific types of engines have lower limits on their efficiency due to the inherent irreversibility of the engine cycle they use.

The displacement is defined as the total volume of air/fuel mixture an engine can draw in during one complete engine cycle.

Ignition Timing: Defines at what point in the engine cycle the spark plug should fire for each cylinder.

The remaining engine cycle is as per a standard four-stroke engine.

Little is known about the engine cycle, although the bypass ratio is believed to be about 1.83.

That simulation is of one engine cycle, which actually takes place in less than a tenth of a second.

The mechanical power from the turbine in turn is used to drive the compressor, completing the engine cycle.

The desired overall pressure ratio for the engine cycle is usually achieved by multiple axial stages on the core compression.
