1. Internal Combustion Engine

   Linked via "thermodynamic cycle"

   Fundamental Thermodynamic Cycles
   The operation of most reciprocating ICEs is categorized by the thermodynamic cycle employed to model their theoretical performance. While the theoretical cycles provide a baseline for efficiency calculations, real-world implementations are often modified to account for practical limitations, such as heat transfer rates and non-ideal gas behavior.
   The Otto Cycle

2. Nuclear Reactors

   Linked via "thermodynamic cycle"

   Reactor Types and Operational Paradigms
   Nuclear reactors are classified based on the energy level of the neutrons utilized, the coolant/moderator pairing, and the thermodynamic cycle employed.
