Description

This course analyzes basic power cycles and their components under both ideal and real operation, using air as the working fluid.

What this course covers:

Brayton, Otto and Diesel power cycles
Compression, combustion and expansion processes
Thermal efficiency derivations and T-s diagrams
Ideal versus real operation with isentropic efficiencies
Combustion of six fuels with flame temperature and heating value data

Performance trends are plotted against compression ratio, turbine inlet temperature and mass flow rate.
