  2. Isenthalpic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isenthalpic_process

    The throttling process is a good example of an isoenthalpic process in which significant changes in pressure and temperature can occur to the fluid, and yet the net sum the associated terms in the energy balance is null, thus rendering the transformation isoenthalpic. The lifting of a relief (or safety) valve on a pressure vessel is an example ...

  3. Enthalpy–entropy chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy–entropy_chart

    In an isenthalpic process, the enthalpy is constant. [2] A horizontal line in the diagram represents an isenthalpic process. A vertical line in the h–s chart represents an isentropic process. The process 3–4 in a Rankine cycle is isentropic when the steam turbine is said to be an ideal one. So the expansion process in a turbine can be ...

  4. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    An isentropic process is an idealized thermodynamic process that is both adiabatic and reversible. [1 ... Gas laws; Adiabatic process; Isenthalpic process; Isentropic ...

  5. Joule–Thomson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    The gas-cooling throttling process is commonly exploited in refrigeration processes such as liquefiers in air separation industrial process. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] In hydraulics, the warming effect from Joule–Thomson throttling can be used to find internally leaking valves as these will produce heat which can be detected by thermocouple or thermal ...

  6. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    Isenthalpic : The process that proceeds without any change in enthalpy or specific enthalpy. Polytropic : The process that obeys the relation P V n = c o n s t a n t {\displaystyle PV^{n}=\mathrm {constant} } .

  7. Flash evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_evaporation

    The flash evaporation of a single-component liquid is an isenthalpic process and is often referred to as an adiabatic flash. The following equation, derived from a simple heat balance around the throttling valve or device, is used to predict how much of a single-component liquid is vaporized.

  8. Turboexpander - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboexpander

    The liquid stream from the gas–liquid separator flows through a valve and undergoes a throttling expansion from an absolute pressure of 62 bar to 21 bar (6.2 to 2.1 MPa), which is an isenthalpic process (i.e., a constant-enthalpy process) that results in lowering the temperature of the stream from about −51 °C to about −81 °C as the ...

  9. Temperature–entropy diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature–entropy_diagram

    In thermodynamics, a temperature–entropy (T–s) diagram is a thermodynamic diagram used to visualize changes to temperature (T ) and specific entropy (s) during a thermodynamic process or cycle as the graph of a curve. It is a useful and common tool, particularly because it helps to visualize the heat transfer during a process.
