ABSTRACT: Although various investigations of Atkinson cycle have been carried out, distinct output power and thermal efficiencies of the have been achieved. In this regard, , Ecological Coefficient of Performance (ECOP), and Ecological function (ECF) are optimized with the help of NSGA-II method and thermodynamic study. The Pareto optimal frontier which provides an ultimate optimum solution is chosen utilizing various decision- making approaches, containing fuzzy Bellman-Zadeh, LINMAP, and TOPSIS. With the help of the results, interpreting the performances of Atkinson cycles and their optimization is enhanced. Error analysis has also been performed for verification of optimization and determining the deviation in the study.

INTRODUCTION The main purpose of designing the cycle is to present of combining with an increment and/or decreased the performance of the system by the mean of input of the combustion chamber, causes the ratio of power. In the Atkinson cycle, the intake, compression, expansion to outstrip the ratio of compression, throughout power, and exhaust strokes of the four-step take place the time of maintaining a regular compression . by one piston sweep. In the Atkinson cycle, the compression So, it is favorable for enhanced cost efficiency, since ratio is less than the expansion ratio, due to the linkage, in a spark-ignition engine, the octane rating ratio limits which results in higher efficiency related to the the compression. So, a longer power stroke is the result utilizing the alternative . Also, four-stroke of a high expansion ratio, provides higher expansion ratios, engines are referred to as the Atkinson cycle. In these followed by the reduction of associated with arrangements, the intake step takes longer time to fill the waste in the exhaust [1]. the intake manifold with fresh air. Its result is the reduction A growing number of thermodynamic investigations of efficient compression ratio, and on the condition has focused on determining the limits of performance * To whom correspondence should be addressed. + E-mail: [email protected] , [email protected], [email protected] 1021 -9986/2020/1/267-280 14/$/6.04
