In this paper, a nano scale irreversible Dual cycle working with ideal Bose and Fermi gases is examined. Degeneracy conditions and thermo-size effects on the quantum gases are researched. Thermodynamic analyses of the cycle are conducted by considering irreversibilities. Different thermodynamic assessment methods are applied and then compared to each other. The obtained results are presented numerically. It concluded that ECF is the most convenient method for the Bose gas under weak degeneracy condition and x should be chosen as biggest as possible for all other conditions. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
