  2. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    This Process Path is a straight horizontal line from state one to state two on a P-V diagram. Figure 2. It is often valuable to calculate the work done in a process. The work done in a process is the area beneath the process path on a P-V diagram. Figure 2 If the process is isobaric, then the work done on the piston

  3. Isobaric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobaric_process

    In thermodynamics, an isobaric process is a type of thermodynamic process in which the pressure of the system stays constant: ΔP = 0. The heat transferred to the system does work, but also changes the internal energy (U) of the system. This article uses the physics sign convention for work, where positive work is work done by the system.

    isobaric: adiabatic: isobaric Ramjets, turbojets, -props, and -shafts. Originally developed for use in reciprocating engines. The external combustion version of this cycle is known as the first Ericsson cycle from 1833.

    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 ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    Thermodynamic cycles may be used to model real devices and systems, typically by making a series of assumptions to reduce the problem to a more manageable form. [2] For example, as shown in the figure, devices such a gas turbine or jet engine can be modeled as a Brayton cycle .

  8. Stirling cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_cycle

    A model of a four-phase Stirling cycle. Most thermodynamics textbooks describe a highly simplified form of Stirling cycle consisting of four processes. This is known as an "ideal Stirling cycle", because it is an "idealized" model, and not necessarily an optimized cycle.
