13. The introduction of a second new hypothetical gas. In the foregoing sections, we have investigated some transonic fields of flow by employing a hypothetical gas which closely approximates the real gas during an isentropic flow in the transonic range. Although such a hypothetical gas has a merit that the fundamental equation governing its flow assumes a rather simple form and can be solved e...

Molar excess Volumes, Vijk and speeds of sound , uijk of 2-pyrrolidinone (i) + benzene or toluene (j) + ethanol (k) ternary mixture have been measured as a function of composition at 308.15 K. The observed speeds of sound data have been utilized to determine excess isentropic compressiblities, ( E S κ )ijk of ternary (i + j + k) mixtures. Molar excess volumes, Vijk and excess isentropic compres...

A thermodynamic model of an open combined regenerative Brayton and inverse Brayton cycles with regeneration before the inverse cycle is established in this paper by using thermodynamic optimization theory. The flow processes of the working fluid with the pressure drops and the size constraint of the real power plant are modeled. There are 13 flow resistances encountered by the working fluid str...

A steady-state model for a centralized cooling system is developed to enable proper provisioning of cooling resources in capital intensive projects such as data centers. The model resolves the energy equations for a cooling tower and a centralized water-cooled chiller simultaneously. It requires inputs that are readily available to the design engineer. The user inputs are the ambient conditions...

Original scientific paper Nondimensional expressions for the work output, thermal efficiency, heat input, and entropy generation number in the Brayton cycle with a recuperator are given as functions of seven input parameters: pressure ratio, temperature ratio, recuperator effectiveness, turbine and compressor isentropic efficiencies, nondimensional pressure drop in the combustor and recuperator...

In this paper we study thermodynamic length of an isentropic Ideal and quasi-Ideal Gas using Weinhold metric in a two-dimensional state space. We give explicit relation between length at constant entropy and work.
