Polytropic Process can be defined as the process in which heat absorbed by the gas due to unit rise in temperature is constant.A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that can be expressed using the following equation.PVn=C, It is aPolytropic process equation.Where,P is the pressureV is the volumen is the polytropic indexC is a constant The exponential n can have…
Ericsson Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle which consists of constant pressure heat addition and rejection.The Ericsson Cycle is named after its Swedish inventor John Ericsson. Many heat engines based on various thermodynamic cycles were but by him.Ericsson was also responsible for the early use of the screw propellor for ship propulsion built in 1842.The first…
Joule Cycle is thermodynamic cycle using constant pressure heat addition and rejection. Fuel and compressor are used to heat and increase the pressure of the gas, the gas expands and spins the blade of the turbine which produces electricity.Joule Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle which represents the operation of constant pressure heat engine. It is…
