Two engines have cylinders that are geometrically the same in size and shape. The cylinders of engine A are surrounded with a normal water jacket filled with a water–ethylene glycol solution. The cylinders of engine B are insulated, making this an adiabatic engine. Other than temperatures, the engines are operated with the same steady-state conditions (as much as possible).
