Description

In this webinar, the student gets familiar with the ideal simple and basic power cycles, power cycle components/processes and compressible flow and their T - s, p - V and h - T diagrams, operation and major performance trends when air, argon, helium and nitrogen are considered as the working fluid.

Performance Objectives:
Introduce basic energy conversion engineering assumptions and equations
Know basic elements of Carnot Cycle, Brayton Cycle, Otto Cycle, Diesel Cycle, compression, combustion and expansion processes and compressible flow (nozzle, diffuser and thrust) and their T - s, p - V and h - T diagrams
Be familiar with Carnot Cycle, Brayton Cycle, Otto Cycle, Diesel Cycle, compression, combustion, expansion and compressible flow (nozzle, diffuser and thrust) operation
Understand general Carnot Cycle, Brayton Cycle, Otto Cycle, Diesel Cycle, compression, combustion, expansion and compressible flow (nozzle, diffuser and thrust) performance trends
