  2. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    [10] [11] For an isentropic process, if also reversible, there is no transfer of energy as heat because the process is adiabatic; δQ = 0. In contrast, if the process is irreversible, entropy is produced within the system; consequently, in order to maintain constant entropy within the system, energy must be simultaneously removed from the ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Rankine cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_cycle

    The input energy required can be easily calculated graphically, using an enthalpy–entropy chart (h–s chart, or Mollier diagram), or numerically, using steam tables or software. Process 3–4: Isentropic expansion: The dry saturated vapour expands through a turbine, generating power. This decreases the temperature and pressure of the vapour ...

  5. Photosynthetic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

    The following is a breakdown of the energetics of the photosynthesis process from Photosynthesis by Hall and Rao: [6]. Starting with the solar spectrum falling on a leaf, 47% lost due to photons outside the 400–700 nm active range (chlorophyll uses photons between 400 and 700 nm, extracting the energy of one 700 nm photon from each one)

  6. Thermodynamic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_process

    An isentropic process is customarily defined as an idealized quasi-static reversible adiabatic process, of transfer of energy as work. Otherwise, for a constant-entropy process, if work is done irreversibly, heat transfer is necessary, so that the process is not adiabatic, and an accurate artificial control mechanism is necessary; such is ...

  7. Degree of reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_Reaction

    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 stator or the fixed blades and then through the rotor or the moving blades.

  8. Lenoir cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenoir_cycle

    2–3: Isentropic expansion; 3–1: Constant pressure heat rejection. The expansion process is isentropic and hence involves no heat interaction. Energy is absorbed as heat during the isochoric heating and rejected as work during the isentropic expansion. Waste heat is rejected during the isobaric cooling which consumes some work.

  9. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    Adiabatic : No energy transfer as heat during that part of the cycle (=). Energy transfer is considered as work done by the system only. Isothermal : The process is at a constant temperature during that part of the cycle (=, =). Energy transfer is considered as heat removed from or work done by the system.
