Performance analysis has been carried out for air-standard Miller engine using second law analysis. The relations of the second law efficiency versus compression ratio, the second law efficiency versus first law efficiency as well as the exergy versus compression ratio are obtained. The results show that the curve of second law efficiency versus first law efficiency is a parabolic-like one. The results also show that, throughout the compression ratio range, the second law efficiency increases when the expansion-compression ratio increases.
