Though the overall thermal efficiency will increase.
The temperature differnces will still be very high after combustion. At the end of the day though you will still have the same amount of power rejected in the water and oil. Since it's the temperatures that count. And knowing that the engine material and contstruction wont be different, the heat rates wont change much.
The turbine is another little system to itself, I agree with this part. It will reduce the exhaust temperatures greatly, and definitely reduce the effect of the exhaust blown diffusers.
Effecting side pod design further.
What i would like to see is a return to refueling. Refueling is more efficient and is greener since the cars are lighter at any given time. I want to see how narrow they can make the side pods now that the teams learned how to be more efficient with space.
