Entransy may be expressed as heat transfer potential of a subject and it has begun to investigate as a new thermodynamic assessment parameter. Optimization of heat transfer processes is very important, because of their extensity. Result of optimizing heat transfer is to use energy efficiently and decrease CO<sub>2</sub> emission that is main reason of the global warming. Because of the these reasons, entransy analysis of a Diesel cycle is investigated and result are presented. Some obtained results for entransy analysis are: entransy efficiency has minimum (0.191) at x = 19.296, has a maximum (1.538x10<sup>6</sup> kW K) at x = 8.316 for <em>η<sub>E </sub></em>= <em>η<sub>C</sub> = </em>1. cycle and has a maximum point at x = 6.959 and it value is 1.341x10<sup>6</sup> kW K for <em>η<sub>E </sub></em>= <em>η<sub>C</sub> = </em>0.8.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Global Journal of Energy Technology Research Updates}, author={Emin Açıkkalp}, year={2014}, month={Sep.}, pages={19–24} }
