What are the theoretical processes involved in the diesel cycle?

Isentropic Compression(1-2): Air is compressed in the cylinder without heat transfer, raising its pressure and temperature.
Constant Pressure Heat Addition(2-3): Fuel is injected and combusts at a constant pressure, increasing the temperature further.
Isentropic Expansion(3-4): The hot, high-pressure gas expands in the cylinder, performing work on the piston.
Constant Volume Heat Rejection(4-1): Heat is removed from the cylinder at a constant volume, lowering the temperature and pressure back to its starting point.
