What is a Dual cycle?

Dual cycle, or limited pressure cycle, is a thermodynamic cycle that combines the Otto cycle and the Diesel cycle. In the dual cycle, combustion occurs partly at constant volume and partly at constant pressure.

What are the thermodynamic process involved in Dual Cycle?

The dual combustion cycle consists of following operations:
(1-2) Adiabatic Compression => (2-3) Isochoric Heat Addition => (3-4) Isobaric Heat Addition => (4-5) Adiabatic Expansion => (5-1) Isochoric Heat Rejection.
