Energy Conversion Ideal vs Real Operation Analysis

Description

This four-hour course presents the simple, basic power cycles and the components and processes that drive energy conversion, using air as the working fluid.

What this course covers:

• Brayton, Otto, and Diesel cycles with thermal efficiency derivations
• Compression, combustion, and expansion for ideal and real operation
• Combustion of six fuels and the resulting products, flame temperature, and heating value
• Compressible flow through nozzle, diffuser, and thrust components
• T-s diagrams and major performance trends for each

The material focuses on technical performance rather than capital or operating costs.
