The performance of a 6-stroke diesel engine was numerically analyzed by means of a simple thermodynamical model. Since the 6-stroke diesel engine proposed in this report has two combustion processes in one cycle, it will offer new methods of the Combustion Control which could not be attained in an ordinary 4-stroke diesel engine. For example, the second combustion stroke provides the oxidation process of the soot that formed in the first combustion stroke. With this method, the in-cylinder gas temperature related to the NO
x and soot formation in the combustion processes was predicted. It was confirmed that under various conditions, the maximum gas temperature of the 6-stroke diesel engine was lower than that of the 4-stroke engine. Furthermore, a 6-stroke low-heat-rejection diesel engine was analyzed. It was predicted that in comparison with the temperature in an ordinary 4-stroke engine, a higher thermal efficiency would be attained with a lower in-cylinder gas temperature.
