your posts are quite informative & you clearly Know your thermo, i get your arguement on latent heats required just to arrive at the point where water turns to steam.
but then again, your only considering the heat energy available/escaping with the exhaust gasses.
let me ask you this, theoretically speaking, an ideal engine will have no/minimum heat transfer to outside the working medium (pison/valves/cylinder ect) correct? that is why ceramic coated pistons/liners/sleeves ect are benificial as i understand it. which means more heat trapped inside to do work.
