Combustion Several of the devices we have considered in our study of thermodynamics have involved heat transfer from an external source. Most often, the source of the energy supplied by the heat transfer comes from a combustion process, such as in an internal combustion engine or in a power plant. In this chapter, we will […]

Psychrometrics: The Psychrometric Chart and Air-Conditioning Processes
8.3 The Psychrometric Chart A convenient way of relating the various properties associated with a water vapor-air mixture is to plot these quantities on a psychrometric chart, displayed in App. F, and shown in Fig. 8.3. Any two of the properties (T , φ, ω, Tdp , Twb ) establish a state from which the […]

Psychrometrics : Gas-Vapor Mixtures and Adiabatic Saturation and Wet-Bulb Temperatures
Psychrometrics Thus far in our study of thermodynamics we have considered only single-component systems. In this chapter we will study the two-component system of air and water vapor, generally called psychrometrics. The more general presentation in which several components make up the system is not considered in this text. The two- component mixture of air […]

Power and Refrigeration Gas Cycles: The Brayton Cycle , The Regenerative Brayton Cycle and The Gas Refrigeration Cycle
7.5 The Brayton Cycle The gas turbine is another mechanical system that produces power. It may operate on an open cycle when used as a truck engine, or on a closed cycle when used in a power plant. In open cycle operation, air enters the compressor, passes through a constant-pressure combustion chamber, then through a […]
