Description
This course presents the ideal, simple and basic power cycles used across engineering, analyzed with air as the working fluid.
What this course covers:
- The Carnot, Brayton, Otto and Diesel cycles
- Deriving thermal efficiency for each cycle with a simple mathematical approach
- Reading each cycle on a T-s diagram
- Performance trends for thermal efficiency, specific power output and power output
- How results vary with compression ratio, turbine inlet temperature and mass flow rate
A focused technical course for engineers studying power cycle fundamentals.
