Humphrey Cycle
Humphrey Cycle
(OP)
I am looking for a description of the Humphrey cycle. It is sopposed to combine the best features of the Otto and Brayton Cycle into one.
Approximate version are the Miller cycle (mazda) and other marine engines.
The Miller cycle places some of the compression load on the supercharger and some on the piston.
Would it be correct that the Humphrey cycle places all of the compression load on the compressor turbine/supercharger?

It is similar in concept to a positive displacement turbine. this mode of operation is a brayton cycle .
The CP burn can also be broken up into pulses of power which is distributed over multiple power strokes . So what kind of cycle is this ? Humphrey ?
