The ideal cycle for a simple diesel engine is the Diesel Cycle. In this one hour online course, the open, simple Diesel Cycle used for stationary power generation is considered. The Diesel Cycle thermal efficiency is presented only for the air as the working fluid. Learn More>>
The ideal subsonic nozzle, diffuser and thrust analysis is presented when air, argon, helium and nitrogen are considered as the working fluid. The technical performance of mentioned compressible flow components is presented with a given relationship... Learn More>>
The Carnot Cycle is an ideal simple cycle consisting of isentropic compression and expansion and isothermal heat addition and heat rejection. The Carnot Cycle thermal efficiency determines the highest thermal efficiency that a heat engine can achieve. In this one h Learn More>>
The ideal power cycle components/processes (compression, combustion and expansion) are presented in this three hour course. When dealing with power cycle components/processes (compression and expansion), air, argon, helium and nitrogen are used as the... Learn More>>
The ideal cycle for a simple gas turbine is the Brayton Cycle, also called the Joule Cycle. In this one hour online course, the open, simple Brayton Cycle used for stationary power generation is considered providing thrust instead of power... Learn More>>
Heat exchangers are used for a variety of different processes - heating, cooling, condensing, evaporating, recirculating, and heat recovery. When you mention a heat exchanger, many people think only of a shell and tube type exchanger. However, there are several hea Learn More>>
Overview A heat exchanger transfers heat from one fluid to another. Without heat exchangers, many of the products that we use today would not be possible. Without a radiator (which is a heat exchanger), vehicles would quickly overheat. Without an evaporator (ano Learn More>>
Overview Thermal efficiency of process heating equipment, such as furnaces, ovens, melters, heaters, and kilns is the ratio of heat delivered to a material and heat supplied to the heating equipment. For most heating equipment, a large amount of the heat supplie Learn More>>
Overview Heat transfer occurs when there is a temperature difference between two bodies. There are three modes of transferring heat - conduction, convection and radiation. Heat is capable of being transferred through solids and fluids by conduction, through flui Learn More>>
The ideal cycle for a simple gasoline engine is the Otto Cycle. In this one hour online course, the open, simple Otto Cycle used for stationary power generation is considered. The Otto Cycle thermal efficiency is presented only for the air as the working fluid. Learn More>>
