I will resist the urge to blather on about my corvair's engine, but its quite the masterpiece. I think the appropriate thermodynamic cycle that describes how the engine operates is the brayton cycle. But any more than that is getting off topic. If anyone wants to know more about this engine I can post a description in another, more appropriate, place on this form.
