He skipped it. The math is pretty tough - beyond all of our skill levels. I keep hoping someone more skilled will come along and help us out.
Interestingly enough, steam engines use this effect with great success.
The Rankine cycle uses this effect pretty effectively, albeit usually with freon or alcohol.
Adiabatic would be "better", but getting a gas engine to run at 50:1 air/fuel ratios is beyond us.
