The paper aims to explore the application of CyclePad in modelling air standard thermodynamic cycles. CyclePad is a powerful software tool designed for the simulation and analysis of various thermodynamic cycles. This paper provides an in-depth investigation into its capabilities and effectiveness in modelling air standard cycles, including the analysis of performance parameters such as efficiency, work output, and heat transfer. To explore the potential of CyclePad, Carnot, Otto, Stirling, Ericsson, Diesel, and Dual cycles were explored first thermodynamically and then modelled using the software. These cycles were tested against practical numerical problems, and it has been observed that the results obtained from the CyclePad are in agreement with the existing literature. Moreover, to understand the impact of input parameters on the performance of cycle output and efficiency sensitivity analysis was performed and reported. The results obtained are very encouraging and stem from the fact the CyclePad can be used effectively to understand and analysis any thermodynamic cycle (both open and close) having any level of complexity.
