  2. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    An isentropic process is an idealized thermodynamic process that is ... is the amount of energy the system gains by heating, ... Isentropic expansion in a turbine:

  3. Steam turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine

    An ideal steam turbine is considered to be an isentropic process, or constant entropy process, in which the entropy of the steam entering the turbine is equal to the entropy of the steam leaving the turbine. No steam turbine is truly isentropic, however, with typical isentropic efficiencies ranging from 20 to 90% based on the application of the ...

  4. Brayton cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brayton_cycle

    isentropic process – the heated, pressurized air then gives up its energy, expanding through a turbine (or series of turbines). Some of the work extracted by the turbine is used to drive the compressor. isobaric process – heat rejection (in the atmosphere). Actual Brayton cycle: adiabatic process – compression; isobaric process – heat ...

  5. Rankine cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_cycle

    In an ideal Rankine cycle the pump and turbine would be isentropic: i.e., the pump and turbine would generate no entropy and would hence maximize the net work output. Processes 1–2 and 3–4 would be represented by vertical lines on the T–s diagram and more closely resemble that of the Carnot cycle .

  6. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    Energy transfer is considered as heat removed from the system, as the work done by the system is zero. Isentropic : The process is one of constant entropy ( S = c o n s t a n t {\displaystyle S=\mathrm {constant} } , d S = 0 {\displaystyle dS=0} ).

  7. Organic Rankine cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_Rankine_cycle

    T-s diagram for the ideal/real ORC. The working principle of the organic Rankine cycle is the same as that of the Rankine cycle: the working fluid is pumped to a boiler where it is evaporated, passed through an expansion device (turbine, [3] screw, [4] scroll, [5] or other expander), and then through a condenser heat exchanger where it is finally re-condensed.

  8. Degree of reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_Reaction

    Where 1 to 3ss in Figure 1 represents the isentropic process beginning from stator inlet at 1 to rotor outlet at 3. And 2 to 3s is the isentropic process from rotor inlet at 2 to rotor outlet at 3. The velocity triangle [ 2 ] (Figure 2.) for the flow process within the stage represents the change in fluid velocity as it flows first in the ...

  9. Lenoir cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenoir_cycle

    Utilizing that, for the isobaric process, T 3 /T 1 = V 3 /V 1, and for the adiabatic process, T 2 /T 3 = (V 3 /V 1) γ−1, the efficiency can be put in terms of the compression ratio, = (), where r = V 3 /V 1 is defined to be > 1. Comparing this to the Otto cycle's efficiency graphically, it can be seen that the Otto cycle is more efficient at ...
