An examination of possible reversible combustion at high temperatures and pressures for a reciprocating engine

Conventional combustion processes are known to be highly irreversible processes. The potential to obtain useful work from the fuel is degraded during the combustion process. For example, for a reciprocating internal combustion engine, about 20% or more of the potential work from the fuel is destroye...
