The Miller cycle is a thermodynamic cycle used in a type of internal combustion engine, patented by the American engineer Ralph Miller on December 24, 1957. An engine running on the Miller cycle may be two-stroke or four-stroke and may run on diesel fuel, gases or dual fuel, and it uses a supercharger or turbocharger to offset the performance loss that the related Atkinson cycle otherwise incurs.
