In order to study the different configurations of RWH, the following methodologies were used: exergy analysis and exergetic efficiency analysis to determine resource consumption and efficiency; life cycle assessment (LCA) to identify environmental impacts; life cycle costing (LCC) to find economic feasibility, and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to identify the frontiers of best - practice towards sustainability.

The biggest change, however, is that the 4.0 L V - 6 has been replaced with an Atkinson - cycle 3.5 L V - 6 with port and direct fuel injection for better efficiency and more power.

On the flipside, thanks to the temporary high - compression cycle, efficiency is better than ever before, seeing a 35 percent boost in combined MPG when compared to the outgoing QX50, and ostensibly the most efficient non-hybridized CUV in the segment with 27 combined mpg for the front - wheel - drive model.

Rated at 278 hp and 265 lb - ft of torque, it features direct and port injection, variable valve timing with intelligent wider intake — which means it uses the Atkinson cycle at cruising speed for better fuel efficiency and switches back to Otto - cycle when torque is necessary — and variable valve timing with intelligent exhaust.

The 1NR, 2NR, 3NR, 4NR, 5NR, 6NR, and 7NR engines have Dual VVT - i standard and the 8NR engine has VVT - iW, enabling it to operate in the Otto cycle as well as a modified - Atkinson cycle to improve thermal efficiency.

The turbocharged and direct - injection powerplant uses an innovative modification to the conventional four - stroke cycle to offer an improved combination of power, efficiency and responsiveness, delivering an impressive 184 horsepower and 221 lb - ft of torque, as well as a respectable highway fuel economy of 27 mpg.

It uses the Atkinson cycle for better efficiency and lower emissions, and it's mated to either a standard six - speed manual or an available six - speed automatic.

The turbocharged 2.0 - liter I4 engine can switch between the Otto and Atkinson cycles for better efficiency (you can't tell when the switch is happening, of course), and its 241 horses pull quite well under most driving conditions.

This mid-sizer's 2.5 - litre four - cylinder gasoline engine was modified to run on the Atkinson cycle, which keeps the intake valves open longer for better thermal efficiency, making a modest 156 horsepower and 136 lb - ft of torque.

While a larger displacement Atkinson cycle engine may offer less top - end horsepower than a traditional Otto internal combustion engine, its increased thermal efficiency allows for strong acceleration and better fuel economy, Saga said.

Furthermore, diesel already has high part - load efficiency, much better than gasoline Otto - cycle engine, so, adding a hybrid drive train to a diesel won't improve efficiency as much as adding hybrid to a gasoline engine.

The weight loss has also significantly helped the Maruti Suzuki Swift, improve its fuel efficiency and as per the ARAI test cycle, the petrol version now delivers 22kpl (improvement of 7 %) and the diesel 28.4 kpl (12 % better).

Helping with its efficiency and cycle reduction targets it plans to improve from 70 % of wells being drilled from existing pads to 85 % in 2014 in Eagle Ford.

Energy efficiency and reducing reliance on coal for electricity generation not only reduces emissions of greenhouse gases, but also reduces emissions of fine particles which cause many premature deaths worldwide as well as reducing other health impacts from the coal fuel cycle.

The combined cycle can take advantage of higher temperatures of the flue gases as well and trough that reach a higher efficiency.

Variation across gas plants is less, though still substantial, with the best combined - cycle plants having nearly twice the efficiency (and hence roughly half the damages) of typical steam or centralized turbine plants, and lower damages even than the cleanest coal - fired plants.

They test the installed equipments and network for operational efficiency throughout its life cycle, handle software coding tasks; Also, they look after the installation, operational, maintenance and troubleshooting functions as well.
