A cycle consisting of three simple processes is proposed. This PPT presentation works through the entire cycle analysis, explaining each step along the way. Check out this example problem to improve your understanding of “net work”, “heat added” and “heat rejected” and how to use thermodynamic principles to determine them.
Using Carnot Cycle Fundamentals
This PPT presentation starts with the basics of defining thermal efficiency or coefficient-of-performance for a thermodynamic cycle. Examples are provided to illustrate how you can determine the best possible performance for certain proposed situations. This is a mechanical engineering skill that can pay off for you for years to come. Download this presentation to understand the fundamentals of thermal efficiency and coefficient-of-performance.
EIA US Energy Data Source
Browse this PPT presentation to learn how the EIA website is a potential gold-mine for data associated with all-things-energy in the U.S. The presentation is built of four case studies to illustrate how to get-the-data and provides ideas on how to summarize-the-data.
Entropy Notes
Browse this PPT presentation to learn more about the thermodynamic property, entropy. Visualize entropy as a “measure of disorder”. When a system becomes more disordered, then the entropy of the system increases. When a system becomes more ordered, then the entropy of the system decreases. Learn how to determine if a proposed process or cycle is POSSIBLE or IMPOSSIBLE.
Vapor Compression Refrigeration
Check out this PPT presentation to learn more about traditional Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycles. What do the components look like? How do they work together? What is a chiller and what is its purpose? What is the difference between a Refrigerator and a Heat Pump?
Build Your Own Brand
Tips for Building Your Own Brand. This PPT presentation provides ideas of how you should quickly understand that YOU have control over the way OTHERS perceive you. If you develop good work habits, work with integrity, respect others, take responsibility, and strive for excellence, you’ll have your own “brand” that you can be proud of.
