In an advanced heat engine course, we propose using a spreadsheet application to assist in the study of a reciprocating engine model, where the fluid composition changes and the parameters depend on the temperature. This application performs the fluid cycle analysis of different engines and also provides experience to students about computational procedures in heat engines. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
