The paper that discusses the Lenoir cycle is from a more conventional point of view. It deals with the steady flow (such as Chambadal's original modeling). Objectives are power and first law efficiency. The corresponding allocation of heat transfer conductance is proposed, due to finite size constraints (i.e., the Utotal imposed).
