Description

In this webinar material, the student gets familiar with the ideal power cycle components/processes and compressible flow components and their T - s 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 compression, combustion and expansion processes and compressible flow (nozzle, diffuser and thrust) and their T - s and h - T diagrams
Be familiar with compression, combustion, expansion and compressible flow (nozzle, diffuser and thrust) operation
Understand general compression, combustion, expansion and compressible flow (nozzle, diffuser and thrust) performance trends
