BASIC CYCLES<br />

Heat engines take in heat QH at a high temperature TH,<br />

produce a net amount <strong>of</strong> work W, and reject heat QL at a low<br />

temperature TL. The efficiency η <strong>of</strong> a heat engine is given<br />

by:<br />

η = W/QH = (QH – QL)/QH<br />

The most efficient engine possible is the Carnot Cycle. Its<br />

efficiency is given by:<br />

ηc = (TH – TL)/TH, where<br />

TH and TL = absolute temperatures (Kelvin or Rankine).<br />

The following heat-engine cycles are plotted on P-v and T-s<br />

diagrams (see page 61):<br />

Carnot, Otto, Rankine<br />

Refrigeration Cycles are the reverse <strong>of</strong> heat-engine cycles.<br />

Heat is moved from low to high temperature requiring work<br />

W. Cycles can be used either for refrigeration or as heat<br />

pumps.<br />

Coefficient <strong>of</strong> Performance (COP) is defined as:<br />

COP = QH /W for heat pumps, and as<br />

COP = QL/W for refrigerators and air conditioners.<br />

Upper limit <strong>of</strong> COP is based on reversed Carnot Cycle:<br />

COPc = TH /(TH – TL) for heat pumps and<br />

COPc = TL /(TH – TL) for refrigeration.<br />

1 ton refrigeration = 12,000 Btu/hr = 3,516 W<br />

IDEAL GAS MIXTURES<br />

i = 1, 2, …, n constituents. Each constituent is an ideal gas.<br />

Mole Fraction: Ni = number <strong>of</strong> moles <strong>of</strong> component i.<br />

xi = Ni /N; N = Σ Ni; Σ xi = 1<br />

Mass Fraction: yi = mi/m; m = Σ mi; Σ yi = 1<br />

Molecular Weight: M = m/N = Σ xiMi<br />

Gas Constant: R = R<br />

/ M<br />

PSYCHROMETRICS<br />

We deal here with a mixture <strong>of</strong> dry air (subscript a) and<br />

water vapor (subscript v):<br />

p = pa + pv<br />

Specific Humidity (absolute humidity, humidity ratio) ω:<br />

ω = mv /ma, where<br />

mv = mass <strong>of</strong> water vapor and<br />

ma = mass <strong>of</strong> dry air.<br />

ω = 0.622pv /pa = 0.622pv /(p – pv)<br />

Relative Humidity (rh) φ:<br />

φ = mv /mg = pv /pg, where<br />

mg = mass <strong>of</strong> vapor at saturation, and<br />

pg = saturation pressure at T.<br />

Enthalpy h: h = ha + ωhv<br />

Dew-Point Temperature Tdp:<br />

Tdp = Tsat at pg = pv<br />

Wet-bulb temperature Twb is the temperature indicated by a<br />

thermometer covered by a wick saturated with liquid water<br />

and in contact with moving air.<br />

Humidity Volume: Volume <strong>of</strong> moist air/mass <strong>of</strong> dry air.<br />
