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 />
