  2. Polytropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytropic_process

    A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that obeys the relation: = where p is the pressure , V is volume , n is the polytropic index , and C is a constant. The polytropic process equation describes expansion and compression processes which include heat transfer.

  3. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    Compression efficiency is then the ratio of temperature rise at theoretical 100 percent (adiabatic) vs. actual (polytropic). Polytropic compression will use a value of between 0 (a constant-pressure process) and infinity (a constant volume process). For the typical case where an effort is made to cool the gas compressed by an approximately ...

  4. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    For example, if the static compression ratio is 10:1, and the dynamic compression ratio is 7.5:1, a useful value for cylinder pressure would be 7.5 1.3 × atmospheric pressure, or 13.7 bar (relative to atmospheric pressure). The two corrections for dynamic compression ratio affect cylinder pressure in opposite directions, but not in equal strength.

  5. Adiabatic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_process

    The model assumptions are: the uncompressed volume of the cylinder is one litre (1 L = 1000 cm 3 = 0.001 m 3); the gas within is the air consisting of molecular nitrogen and oxygen only (thus a diatomic gas with 5 degrees of freedom, and so γ = ⁠ 7 / 5 ⁠); the compression ratio of the engine is 10:1 (that is, the 1 L volume of uncompressed ...

  6. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    In gas dynamics we are interested in the local relations between pressure, density and temperature, rather than considering a fixed quantity of gas. By considering the density ρ = M / V {\displaystyle \rho =M/V} as the inverse of the volume for a unit mass, we can take ρ = 1 / V {\displaystyle \rho =1/V} in these relations.

  7. Euler equations (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_equations_(fluid...

    Now inverting the equation for temperature T(e) we deduce that for an ideal polytropic gas the isochoric heat capacity is a constant: c v ≡ m ( ∂ e ∂ T ) v = m d e d T = 1 ( γ − 1 ) {\displaystyle c_{v}\equiv m\left({\partial e \over \partial T}\right)_{v}=m{de \over dT}={\frac {1}{(\gamma -1)}}}

  8. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, the compressibility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility [1] or, if the temperature is held constant, the isothermal compressibility [2]) is a measure of the instantaneous relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change.

  9. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

    Tire uniformity refers to the dynamic mechanical properties of pneumatic tires as strictly defined by a set of measurement standards and test conditions accepted by global tire and car makers. These standards include the parameters of radial force variation , lateral force variation , conicity, ply steer, radial run-out , lateral run-out , and ...
