  2. Liquefied natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_natural_gas

    The heating value depends on the source of gas that is used and the process that is used to liquefy the gas. The range of heating value can span ±10 to 15 percent. A typical value of the higher heating value of LNG is approximately 50 MJ/kg or 21,500 BTU/lb. [2] A typical value of the lower heating value of LNG is 45 MJ/kg or 19,350 BTU/lb.

  3. Waste heat recovery unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat_recovery_unit

    The fluid has a lower boiling point than water to allow it to boil at low temperature, to form a superheated gas that can drive the blade of a turbine and thus a generator. Thermoelectric (Seebeck, Peltier, Thomson effects) units may also be called WHRU, since they use the heat differential between two plates to produce direct current (DC) power.

  4. Boiling point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point

    The boiling point corresponds to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding environmental pressure. Thus, the boiling point is dependent on the pressure. Boiling points may be published with respect to the NIST, USA standard pressure of 101.325 kPa (1 atm), or the IUPAC standard pressure of 100.000 kPa (1 ...

  6. British thermal unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

    The energy content (high or low heating value) of a volume of natural gas varies with the composition of the natural gas, which means there is no universal conversion factor for energy to volume. 1 cubic foot (28 litres) of average natural gas yields ≈ 1,030 Btu (between 1,010 Btu and 1,070 Btu, depending on quality, when burned)

  7. Antoine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_equation

    Lee [4] developed a modified form of the Antoine equation that allows for calculating vapor pressure across the entire temperature range using the acentric factor (𝜔) of a substance. The fundamental structure of the equation is based on the van der Waals equation and builds upon the findings of Wall [ 5 ] and Gutmann et al. [ 6 ] , who ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy–entropy_chart

    The diagram was created in 1904, when Richard Mollier plotted the total heat [4] H against entropy S. [5] [1]At the 1923 Thermodynamics Conference held in Los Angeles it was decided to name, in his honor, as a "Mollier diagram" any thermodynamic diagram using the enthalpy as one of its axes.

  9. Vapor–liquid equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid_equilibrium

    Boiling-point diagram. The preceding equilibrium equations are typically applied for each phase (liquid or vapor) individually, but the result can be plotted in a single diagram. In a binary boiling-point diagram, temperature (T ) (or sometimes pressure) is graphed vs. x 1. At any given temperature (or pressure) where both phases are present ...
