dc.description.abstract Thermodynamic performance is a prime consideration in the design of vehicles. This is because all vehicles operate by transforming the stored work potential contained in fuel into useful work. This work output is then used to overcome various loss mechanisms in the engine, drivetrain, and vehicle systems. A significant part of vehicle engineering is finding means to minimize losses integrated through the design mission in order to minimize costs. This paper discusses how thermodynamic work potential can be used as a vehicle analysis tool to minimize losses and improve performance. The foundation of this method is the second law of thermodynamics. This approach provides a en_US
