  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. Isochoric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isochoric_process

    In thermodynamics, an isochoric process, also called a constant-volume process, an isovolumetric process, or an isometric process, is a thermodynamic process during which the volume of the closed system undergoing such a process remains constant. An isochoric process is exemplified by the heating or the cooling of the contents of a sealed ...

  4. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    According to the first section above, an heating for a solid can not be a isochoric, so the pressure change in a non-isochoric heating process is not exactly the thermal pressure. When a solid is loaded with a pressure gauge, and heated/compressed together at high P - T , the thermal pressure of the solid does not equal that of its gauge.

  5. Otto cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_cycle

    In this process 1–2 the piston does work on the gas and in process 3–4 the gas does work on the piston during those isentropic compression and expansion processes, respectively. Processes 2–3 and 4–1 are isochoric processes; heat is transferred into the system from 2—3 and out of the system from 4–1 but no work is done on the system ...

  6. 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.

  7. Thermodynamic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_process

    (1) A Thermodynamic process is a process in which the thermodynamic state of a system is changed. A change in a system is defined by a passage from an initial to a final state of thermodynamic equilibrium. In classical thermodynamics, the actual course of the process is not the primary concern, and often is ignored.

  8. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    A thermodynamic cycle consists of linked sequences of thermodynamic processes that involve transfer of heat and work into and out of the system, while varying pressure, temperature, and other state variables within the system, and that eventually returns the system to its initial state. [1]

  9. Lenoir cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenoir_cycle

    In the cycle, an ideal gas undergoes [1] [2] 1–2: Constant volume heat addition; 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.
