Introduction The science of Thermodynamics is a formalisation of
principles governing the relationships between the properties of a
system and its heat and work exchanges with its surroundings. A
knowledge of thermodynamics is essential for the analysis of 'heat
engines' - machines which convert chemical or nuclear energy into
useful work. Examples of other applications of this science are:
Steam turbines, Boilers, Cooling Towers and Heat Exchangers. Much
of the subject is concerned with the behaviour of matter. On a
microscopic scale matter is composed of a large number of small
particles and studies conducted at a microscopic level are called
'Statistical Thermodynamics'. Engineers are usually concerned with
'classical' or 'engineering' thermodynamics which is the study of
the general behaviour of relatively large quantities of matter
(i.e. making observations on a macroscopic scale relative to the
human senses, when matter is perceived to be homogeneous and
continuous). However, it is often useful to keep in mind the
microscopic structure of matter when trying to comprehend new
phenomena. 2 Some Important Definitions SystemRegion in space
containing a quantity of matter whose behaviour is to be
investigated. A system is fully defined by a.Fluid Type b.Its
boundary c.Mass of Fluid FluidA substance which always continues to
deform when subjected to, shear stresses, e.g. a gas (air), a
vapour (steam), a liquid (water) or any, combination of these.
BoundarySeparates the system from the surroundings and can be
either tangible or imaginary. It is across the boundary that Work
and Heat are . transferred. SurroundingsOutside the system (i.e.
outside the boundary) but sufficiently close to be affected by
changes within the system. Closed SystemNo movement of matter into
or out of the system (non-flow process) Open SystemMatter crosses
the boundary (flow process). PropertyA quantity describing the
system, e.g. a linear dimension, colour or pressure. From the
standpoint of thermodynamics many properties are irrelevant and it
can be a practical difficulty deciding which properties are of
interest. Further, the thermodynamic properties of many fluids are
not independent of each other. 3 StateCondition of a system as
defined by the relevant properties, e.g. the air in a room could be
described by its volume, pressure and temperature. More complex
formulations might involve concentrations of constituent gases. Two
independent thermodynamic properties are required to define the
state of the system. Heat (Q)Is the transitory energy exchanged due
to a difference in temperature between a system and its
surroundings. If the direction of heat transfer is into the system,
the quantity is said to be positive; whilst if heat is transferred
from the system to the surroundings it is said to be negative. Note
that heat is never contained in a system and is not a property.
Work (W)Is the transitory energy transfer due to a movement of a
part of the boundary under the action of a force. Work transfer
from the system to the surroundings is. defined as positive. Note
that work is never contained in a system and is not a property.
Internal EnergyThe energy contained within a system. Internal
energy is a property. (U)The internal energy will be affected by
changes in temperature and any chemical or nuclear reactions.
EquilibriumA system is in thermodynamic equilibrium when no changes
of state are taking place, i.e. no changes of matter, energy or
chemical composition. (A system is most easily described when it is
in a state of equilibrium, since all the fluid properties are
steady and uniform) SpecificThese are per unit mass. For example
specific work output is the work Quantitiesoutput per kg of fluid
in the system. EnergyMolecules may absorb energy in more than the
kinetic vibration form, i.e. atoms may revolve about the centre of
a molecule or they may vibrate with respect to one another. The
latter two forms of energy may not have any effect on the measured
temperature - although they may vary with it. We describe the
energy associated with the vibration, spin and translational
movement of the constituent particles as Random Energy. Other forms
of energy are, for example, Potential, Kinetic, Chemical and
Nuclear. Process. Transition of the system from one state to
another. Whilst changing states a real system cannot be at
equilibrium. However, if the process is sufficiently slow, the
system may be assumed to pass through a series of equilibrium
states. 4 Cycle. A closed, system completes a cyclic process or
cycle when it passes through a series of states in such a way that
its final state is equal in every respect to its initial state. 5
General Properties of Gases Introduction A gas is composed of a
collection of particles which move randomly at high speed
(typically 1000mIs at room temperature). The term particle is being
used to describe the smallest part of any gas which still retains
the properties of the substance. Two points should be noted: i)If
the substance is a chemical compound, for example Propane which has
chemical formula C3H8, then the particle comprises several atoms
chemically bonded together and is called a molecule. Hence, each
propane molecule would comprise 3 atoms of Carbon and 8 of
Hydrogen. ii) When the gas is a chemical element - (Oxygen,
Hydrogen, Nitrogen etc) it is most likely to be encountered in
diatomic form, i.e. each particle is a molecule which contains two
atoms. However, at high temperatures, such as those found in
combustion products, these gases can exist in monatomic form - each
particle being a single atom. In addition atoms of the Inert Gases
( Argon and Neon for example) are reluctant to form chemical bonds
with other atoms and so these are always found in monatomic form.
Kinetic Theory The Kinetic Theory of Gases is an attempt to
theoretically model the behaviour of any gas by analysing the
motion of its particles. The analysis is limited to Perfect Gases
which are hypothetical substances in which: a) Particles are
perfectly rigid, hence all collisions are perfectly elastic (no
loss of momentum) b) The total volume occupied by the particles is
negligible when compared with the total volume occupied by the gas
- (resulting in a large mean free path) c) There are no attractive
or repulsive forces between the particles By considering the change
in momentum of particles as they bounce off the walls of a
container, simple mathematical manipulation yields VNkT32p =Where
P=absolute pressure T=absolute temperature V=container volume
N=number of particles in volume V K=constant 6 Boyle and Charles
carried out constant temperature and constant pressure experiments
respectively, and deduced two laws which are consistent with the
kinetic theory, i.e. pV= constant (Boyles Law) and V/T=constant
(Charles Law) Characteristic equation of state (Perfect Gases) The
mass, m, of a given amount of gas must be proportional to the
number of molecules/atoms present. Hence the Kinetic Theory yields
pV=mRT where mR= 32kN and R, the characteristic gas constant, has a
different value for each gas(e.g. for air R = 287 J/kg K) Real
gases The Kinetic Theory, Boyle's Law and Charles' Law all describe
a Perfect Gas. However this is a hypothetical entity since our
assumptions about the behaviour of molecules are not strictly true.
At first sight i) The assumption that collisions between particles
are perfectly elastic seems reasonable since no loss in pressure is
observed when a gas is kept in a closed vessel for long periods of
time (i.e. No loss of particle momentum). ii) The assumption that
particles are of negligible size seems reasonable since a gas is
readily compressed. iii)The assumption that attractive forces
between particles are negligible seems reasonable since a gas
readily expands to fill all the available space. One set of
substances which do closely obey the perfect gas law are the
permanent gases (i.e. O2, H2, N2 etc) but only at high temperatures
and low pressures. At low temperatures and high pressures the
particles are much closer together, thus assumptions ii) and iii)
are less valid, and deviations from pv = RT can be observed. 7
Relative Atomic/Molecular Mass ( ARand MR) It is usual to express
the mass of an atom of a particular substance relative to the
Unified Atomic Mass, u rather than in absolute terms. The atomic
mass scale in common use attributes a particular Isotope of Carbon
(C-12) with a value AR = 12. Hence the Unified Atomic Mass kg 10 x
66 . 112atom 12 - C of Mass u27 = = Most elements have values of
ARwhich can be considered with reasonable accuracy to be integer
values (e.g. H = 1, N = 14, 0 = 16). Relative molecular mass is
also expressed relative to u and so, for example, Oxygen (O2) has a
value MR=32 whilst Propane (C3H8) has a value of 44. Avogadros Law
Avogadro stated that Equal volumes of all gases contain the same
number of particles when at the same temperature and pressure.
Proof From Kinetic Theory we have( ) T / pV k23N =Kilogram-mol The
term Mol (or Mole) is used as a measure of the amount of substance
and represents a fixed number, NA, of molecules or atoms. However,
in order to be meaningful it must be pre-fixed by a unit of mass
which using SI units results in the kilogram-mol (often written as
kgmol or kmol). In this case NA, which is known as Avogadro's
Constant, has a value of 6.022 x 1026 and is specifically chosen so
that 1 kgmol of carbon (relative atomic mass = 12) has a mass of
12kg. Clearly, the molar mass M, of any substance must be
numerically equal to its atomic mass or its molecular mass -
whichever is appropriate. It follows that 1 kgmol of a particular
gas always has the same mass, whilst its volume, vo varies with p
and T. i.e. n . M m = where m=mass(kg) M=molar ass (kg/kgmol)
n=number of mols (kgmol) e.g.1kgmol of C=12kg 8 Universal Gas
Constant Considering 1kgmol of substance which has molar mass M and
noting that generallypVo = mRT we can write pvo= MRT or pvo/T = MR
where nVvolume molar vo= =Hence, for any particular gas pvo/T
always has the same value since both molar mass, M and R are
constants. But Avogadro states that for given values of pressure
and temperature vo always has the same value, irrespective of which
gas is being considered. Consequently pvo/ T and hence MR is always
constant and we write MR = Ro whereRo is the universal gas constant
and has value 8314 J/kgmol K. Note:The value of R for any gas can
be calculated from a knowledge of its relativeatomic or molecular
mass and the value of Ro. Various forms of equations of state It
should now be clear that the equation of state can be listed in
many forms, some of the most common ones are: pv=RT(v = specific
volume, i.e. per unit mass) pV=mRT pvo=MRT (vo = molar volume, M =
molar mass) pvo=RoT pV=nRoT(n = Total number of kgmols) 9 Daltons
Law of Partial Pressures Dalton's Law states that the pressure of a
mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures, pi
of the i constituents. (Note The partial pressure of any individual
gas is the pressure which it would exert when occupying the same
volume as the mixture and at the same temperature). This law, which
is based on experimental results, can be predicted using the
kinetic theory as follows VT R npo ii =where pi= partial pressure

and hence the number of kgmols remains unchanged.Hence = n niwhen n

Fraction From above we have VT Rn pandVT Rn po oi i= = By
comparison, the partial pressure of any constituent nnwhere pnnpi
ii = is the molar fraction of constituent i 10 Volumetric Analysis
Avogaro's Law could be written as At a given temperature and
pressure the volume occupied by a gas is directly proportional to
the number of molecules present - with the constant of
proportionality being the same for all gases. It follows that each
constituent in a mixture of gases occupies a fraction of the total
volume which is equivalent to its molar fraction. Specific Heats
The specific heat, c, of a substance is defined as the quantity of
heat required to cause unit temperature rise in unit mass. Hence,
if q is the heat transfer per kg of fluid K kg / JdTdqc = However,
the amount of heat absorbed depends upon the nature of the process,
and not just the change in temperature. In practice we use values
of c which relate to two particular processes namely, those which
take place at either constant volume or constant pressure.These
give: vvdTdqc |.|
\|= (= Specific heat at constant volume) and ppdTdqc |.|
\|= (= Specific heat at constant pressure) Relationships between
Cp and Cv It can easily be shown that cp and cv are related by the
equations ( ) K kg / J R c cv p= where R=Characteristic Gas

its own symbol ( ) ( ) 0 . 1 c / C c / covop v p> = = vc / R 1 =
For air,is about 1.4 at room temperature 11 Temperature Effects
Unfortunately the values of cp and cv for a particular gas vary
slightly with temperature. Usually their values can be accurately
represented by a polynomial expansion in T which allows
straightforward mathematical manipulation of any equations in which
they appear. When considering processes in which temperature
changes are modest it is usually possible to assume that cp and cv
are constant and have values corresponding to the average
temperature. First Law of Thermodynamics When analysing a closed
system we draw an imaginary boundary around a fixed mass of fluid.
This boundary can be distorted but no fluid is allowed to cross it,
either into or out of the system. By considering the conservation
of energy during any process from state 1 or state 2 we arrive at
the First Law u w q A = or, considering infinitesimal values ofdu
dw dq , u and w , q = A where q=specific heat transfer. (By
convention this has a positive value when heat is supplied to the
system) w=specific work, and is positive when the system does work
on the surroundings u=specific internal energy.This can be
considered to be thermal energy and is associated with the \kinetic
and PotentialEnergies of the nuclear, atomic and sub-atomic
particles. For a cycle or cyclic process,0 u = and hence 0 w q = 12
Work and Reversibility Reversible Process We have met the non-flow
energy equation, q-w = u = u2-u1 and noted that we can use specific
properties because the end states are in thermodynamic equilibrium.
For a particular class of processes which are reversible we imagine
the system to pass through a continuous series of equilibrium
states. In this case we consider any infinitesimal part of the
process and can write dq - dw = du (Once again we can use specific
values if desired since the system properties are always uniform)
Work During a Reversible Process The analysis of a reversible
process can be carried out by considering it as a series of
infinitesimal processes - the overall changes which occur between
the end states being calculated by integration. In particular, the
work done by a closed system can be expressed in terms of the fluid
pressure and volume as follows Consider a small expansion from one
equilibrium state to another which occurs because of an
infinitesimally small change in the externally applied force. i.e F
is slightly smaller than pA. The piston moves a short distance, dx
13 The work done by the system is dW = pAdx = pdV where dV is the
resulting small change in volume. If the process continues in this
way through a series of equilibrium states, it can be represented
as a continuous line on a p-V diagram. The total work done =
=2121pdV dW W (This is equal to the total area under the p-V curve
between states 1 and 2). A reversible process is so called because
the system may be returned to its original state by simply
reversing the work transfer, i.e. in this case = 12pdV W However,
in order to achieve this the force differences (pA compared with F)
must be infinitesimally small in order that the movement of the
piston is infinitesimally slow. This. ensures that no pressure
gradients or eddies are set up within the system and so its
properties can be considered uniform. i.e. A reversible process is
a hypothetical ideal. In any real process = pdV W the work done by
a system, for example, is always less than the area under the p-V
curve. As suggested above, a reversible process is an ideal one
which delivers the maximum possible work = pdV Wrev It follows that
the work done during a real compression is always greater than the
minimum value, Wrev , required if the process is reversible. 14
Heat and Reversibility Heat Reservoir That part of the surroundings
which exchanges heat energy with the system is called a heat
reservoir and is either a source or sink of heat. A reservoir is
usually so large that any heat transfer does not change its
temperature. If heat transfer takes place due to a large
temperature difference between the system and surroundings there
will be a temperature gradient within the system fluid. This
non-equilibrium condition occurs because the rate of heat flow is
so high as to cause the fluid near the boundary to be hotter than
that in more remote regions. However, if an infinitesimal
temperature difference can be maintained between the system and
surroundings reversible heat transfer takes place and the direction
of heat flow can be reversed by an infinitesimally small change in
source temperature. Heat Transfer for a Closed System Referring to
the definition of the specific heats cp and cv, (above) it can be
seen that the heat transfer during constant pressure and constant
volume processes are, respectively = = dT c q and dT c qv p For all
other types of process involving a closed system q is calculated by
finding the values of w and u (see below) and then applying the
first law. Calculation of u (no chemical or nuclear reactions)
Consider the heating of a gas at constant volume 1st Law gives du
dw dq = but( ) du dT c dq 0 dwv= = = hence =21v 12dT c u A It can
be shown that u is a function of temperature only, and so this
relationship holds good for all processes - not just those for
which the volume remains constant 15 Enthalpy Consider a closed
system which exchanges heat with the surroundings and also does
work such that the pressure remains constant 1st Law gives pdv du
dq = hence( ) pv d du dq + = sinceconstant p = hence| | ( ) pv u d
dT c dqp+ = = The group of properties (u + pv) occurs so often in
thermodynamics. that it is given its own name - Enthalpy, with
symbol h . Generally, if any fluid undergoes a process from state 1
to state 2, the change in enthalpy is always given by = 21p 1 2dT c
h h Since h is a combination of properties, it is itself a
property. Although introduced here for convenience, h is
encountered most often when considering an open system - see below.
Note that the internal energy and enthalpy defined above ignore
chemical and nuclear reactions. When combustion occurs for example,
additional terms to account for the change in chemical energy have
to be included Reversible Adiabatic Process A process which occurs
often in Engineering in general and Internal Combustion (Piston and
Gas Turbine) Engines in-particular is. the adiabatic process, i.e.
one in which no heat transfer occurs between the working fluid and
the surroundings. Since q = 0, any work done by thesystem is at the
expense of internal energy (closed systems) or the sum of enthalpy
kinetic energy (open systems). An adiabatic process which can also
be considered to be reversible is often termed Isentropic (constant
entropy) and is described by the equation constant pV = For a
perfect gas, we can obtain (using the equation of state)

processes in which no fluid crosses the system boundary. When we
developed the First Law with reference to a closed system we noted
that although the total energy of the system E = K.E + P.E + U, the
kinetic and potential energies of the bulk fluid were of little
interest since they remained constant. We now consider open
systems, in which the kinetic and potential energies can vary
between the system inlet and exit, and will again use the First Law
in order to derive an appropriate energy equation Steady Flow
Energy Equation (SFEE) Flow processes may be steady or non-steady.
We confine our attention to steady processes in which the mass flow
rate and all fluid properties (e.g. p, T, u, v, c etc) are
constant, with time, at any point in the system. In order to
analyse an open system we construct an imaginary closed system
which is assumed to undergo a process during which it deforms from
state a) to state b) in time dt. The amount of heat input is dQ and
shaft work done by the system = dW. Clearly, a steady flow process
is made up of a whole series of such non-flow processes and it
should be noted that the energy stored within the shaded area, E is
always constant. 19 First Law For any system E W Q A = (1) a)System

Law states No engine operating in a cycle can convert all the heat
energy it absorbs into useful work Consequently, every engine must
reject some heat energy at some point in its thermodynamic cycle.It
follows that, even if there are no mechanical or pumping losses, no
engine could be 100% efficient.This can be demonstrated by
considering the Carnot cycle which gives the best possible
efficiency for an engine whose working cycle operates between fixed
maximum and minimum temperatures. Carnot Cycle It is possible to
link a series of processes together in order to form a
thermodynamic cycle.If such a cycle is to be reversible, or ideal,
each individual process must be reversible.The original conception
of a reversible cycle was devised by Sadi Carnot in 1824 with
reference to a closed system operating with a series of non-flowing
processes (e.g. a piston in a cylinder). Heat is transferred
between the engines and two reservoirs maintained at temperatures
TH and TC.The cycle comprises four processes 1-2Isothermal
compression at a temperature of TC 2-3Adiabatic compression
3-4Isothermal expansion at a temperature of TH 4-1Adiabatic

q1 and q2 have positive values, the Carnot efficiency is given by

the efficiency of the Carnot cycle depends only upon the

efficiency can only be achieved if TH is infinitely greater than TC
(impossible) or if TC = 0 (also impossible) 24 Clausius Inequality
Whenever a system undergoes a cycle,( )T / dQis zero if the cycle
is reversible or negative if irreversible. i.e.( ) 0 T / dQ =if
reversible ( ) 0 T / dQ < if irreversible Entropy We now
introduce the property called Entropy and note that we are usually
interested in the amount by which it changes during a particular
process, rather than its absolute values.By way of introduction it
is useful to draw comparisons with the work equation for a closed
system undergoing a reversible process: pdv dw = Work is produced
as a result of a pressure gradient across the system boundary
causing a change in volume. In a similar way heat transfer occurs
as a result of a temperature gradient across the system boundary
and causes a change in entropy.For a reversible process: ds T dq =
hence = =2121Tdqs or ds T q Significance of Entropy An entropy term
is often to be found in thermodynamic relationships but there are
two instances where it has particular significance. a)Entropy
Principle The First Law merely states that energy is conserved if
it is transformed;it does not state whether the transformation is
possible or not.Generally, there are preferred directions of energy
flow and the entropy principle can be used to predict whether a
particular process (which is known to satisfy the First Law) is
actually possible.It states that For any process the entropy of the
Universe remains constant or increases Here the term universe is
used to describe the system plusthat part of thesurroundings
affected by changes within the system.(Note: if the process
isreversible, the entropy of the universe is constant otherwise it
increases. 25 b)Calculation of Heat Transfer We have seen that for
a closed system undergoing a reversible process the areaunder the
p-V line is equal to the work done.In a similar way, the area under
the corresponding T-s line would yield the heat transfer.By way of
example, we re- calculate the efficiency for the Carnot cycle which
can be represented on aTemperature Entropy diagram as follows 12

to know the variation of vc with T, with the most simple case being

Advantages High Specific Power Relatively Low Cost High Thermal
Efficiency Note that both SI and CI engines can be 1.Turbocharged
2.4 stroke or 2 stroke 3.Water or air cooled 35 The reciprocating
engine employs a cycle consisting of a succession of non-flow
processes.Consequently, analysis is done by simple application of
the non-flow energy equation to each process in turn. The
reciprocating engine has two main advantages. i)Each process is
fairly slow and more reversible than those in gas turbines. ii)It
can be run with stoichiometric mixtures (giving very high
temperatures typically 2,300C) since the cylinders are not
constantly exposed to hot gases. One major disadvantage is that
piston engines tend to be bulky for a given air mass flow rate and
hence heavy for a given power output.This makes them unsuitable for
larger aircraft where typical propeller shaft power can be of the
order of 9,000 kW. Three important Air Standard Cycles form the
basis for all reciprocating engines- namely, the Otto, Diesel and
Dual Cycles.These are considered below. The 4- stroke operating
cycle The 2- stroke operating cycle 36 2.2.1Otto Cycle This is the
theoretical heat cycle upon which calculations for a spark ignition
(SI) engine are based and has a similar form for both 2 and 4
stroke cycles. ProcessHeat FlowWork Done *a-1Induction ( ) ( ) + a

= =n (2) This is the air standard efficiency of the Otto Cycle
and it will be noted that it has the same form as the Carnot
efficiency.However, there are two points to note a)The THn is less
than that for a Carnot Cycle operating between the sametemperature
limits since 2T is not the maximum temperature. b)The efficiency
can be expressed in terms of compression ratio vr only and this
relationship is described by the graph below.(However, specific
work output increases with the upper temperature 3T 38 It should be
noted that although the efficiency of the Otto Cycle appears
tocontinuously increase with compression ratio the efficiency of a
real SI engine islimited by knock.Even when using high octane
fuels, compression ratios used in practice do not normally exceed
10:1.Even when knick is not a limiting factor, the combined
detrimental effects of heat transfer, dissociation and variable
specific heats result in reducing thermal efficiency at compression
ratio greater than about 14:1 2.2.2Diesel Cycle This theoretical
cycle forms the basis for calculations on Compression Ignition (CI)
engines.It is similar to the Otto Cycle except that heat is
supplied at constant pressure and not at constant volume.However,
it should be noted that the modern CI engines are more accurately
represented by the Dual Cycle.In CIengines, fuel is injected into
the cylinder towards the top of the compression stroke, hence
pre-ignition cannot occur and so increased compression ratios can
be used.In any case, compression ignition of common fuel oils is
not usually possible for values of vr less than about 12:1

=1 r1 rr11cc1vTHn(4) It can be seen that the efficiency of the
diesel cycle depends upon the cut-off ratio, cr(i.e. the quantity
of heat added) as well as upon vrand Since the term in [ ] is
always greater than the unity the Diesel Cycle always has a lower
efficiency than an Otto Cycle for a given compression ratio.In
theory, Their efficiencies are equal when the cut-off ratio cr
equals unity, but this example is trivial since it represents zero
heat input! However, as mentioned above, practical CI engines run
at much higher compression ratios (12:1 < vr < 20:1) than SI
engines and so, in general have higher efficiencies. 40 2.2.3Dual
or Mixed Cycle The behaviour of many modern reciprocating engines
is best represented by a combination of the Otto and Diesel Cycles,
called the dual or mixed cycle.In this case part of the het is
added at constant volume and the remainder at constant pressure.

rp = this reduces to the same expression as for the Diesel
Cycle.The graph below compares the T-S diagram for an Otto, Diesel
and DualCycle which all have the same heat input and compression
ratio( )2 1v v Since all processes are reversible, the heat input
is equal to the area under the T-S curve (i.e. under process 2-3
for Otto and Diesel Cycles and 2-3-4 for Dual Cycle).Similarly the
heat rejected is given by the area under curves 4-1 (Otto and
Diesel) or 5-1 (Dual).It can be seen that for the same compression
ratio, the cycle efficiencies decrease in the order Otto, Dual,
Diesel because the Otto Cycle rejects the least amount of heat and
the Diesel Cycle the most. 2.2.4Comparison of real cycles with the
air standard cycle A P-V diagram comparing a real and air standard
cycle is shown below 43 It is clearthat there is a substantial
difference between the cycles, the main reasons being as follows
a)Working fluid not air b)Specific heats not constant c)Compression
and expansion processes not isentropic d)Dissociation e)Combustion
not at constant volume/pressure or at TDC f)Valves do not open and
close at TDC/BDC The area of the P-V diagram is proportional to the
work done and a real cycle will only typically have just over half
the area compared to the ideal cycle.Also, the peak cycle pressure
and temperature predicted for the ideal cycle will be much higher
than for the real cycle (mainly due to variable vC , and
dissociation).The compression and expansion processes are not
adiabatic but can be approximated well with a polytropic process,
constant PVn= , where n is typically 1.32 for the compression and
1.28for the expansion. Improvements to the air standard cycle
predictions can be achieved by using dissociation charts which
cater for variations in specific heat ( with both temperature and
composition) and dissociation.However, whilst dissociation charts
produce improved predictions compared to the air standard cycles,
they still do not cater for finite combustion rates, valve timing
etc and air standard cycles and dissociation charts have been
replaced by complete engine simulation models. 2.2.5Criteria of
Engine Performance Thermal efficiency is a useful measure of engine
running costs, but size, complexity and capital costs are also
important.For example, size (i.e. weight) is particularly important
for transport and so an important criterion becomes the power
output from a given size of engine.This is quantified using Mean
Effective Pressure (MEP) 2.2.6Mean Effective Pressure (MEP) Work
ratio is very useful in indicating cycle susceptibility to
Irreversibilities but is usually used in cycles involving steady
flow processes (e.g. gas turbines).In reciprocating engines it is
not always easy to isolate the (+)ve work and so the similar
parameter MEP is used. Brake Mean Effective Pressure, MEP or mp ,
is the pressure which, when acting on the piston over one stroke,
can produce the net measured work of the cycle. Area of rectangle
equals areas within p-v loop i.e.( ) W pdv v v p1 2 m= = 44 2.3.Gas
Turbine Engines We now discuss two Air Standard Cycles used for
predicting the performance of gas turbines.The Joule or Brayton
Cycle describes the processes involved in the operation of most
engines whilst the Ericsson Cycle is included as a method of
achieving the Carnot Efficiency. Both cycles are analysed by
applying the Steady Flow Energy Equation to each process and, as
usual, velocity terms are assumed to be negligible. 2.3.1Joule (or

\| = = Note Since pr equals vr , the efficiencies of the Otto
and Brayton cycles are the same.However, it is much more convenient
to define pressure ratio( )prfor a gas turbine than the compression
ratio( )vr . 2.3.2Ericsson Cycle Theoretically the efficiency of a
gas turbine can be improved to equal the Carnot Efficiency by
employing constant temperature work phases (as in the Stirling
Cycle) and raising the gas temperature between the compressor and
turbine at constant pressure. An isothermal compression is achieved
by using an infinite number of stages and intercooling -i.e. this
represents heat rejected.Similarly, an isothermal expansion would
have an infinite number of stages with reheat (heat input).It is
shown below that the heatrequired between the compressor and
turbine (2-3) can be completelyfurnished by the heat rejected (4-1)
using a perfect heat exchanger. 46 Process (all reversible)QW

FULL THROTTLE PISTON ENGINE PERFORMANCE TEST OBJECTIVES The
objectives of this laboratory are that students will: I.Gain
familiarity with some of the measurement and experimental
techniques used in piston engine testing. II.Learn how various
fundamental laws and principles introduced during Thermodynamics
lectures can be used in practice. III.Gain a better understanding
about the practical engineering issues, which influence engine
performance. BACKGROUND The phases between the initial design
concept and the manufactured piston engine involves a combination
of a wide range of human skills and computing power to ensure that
the product will prove of practical interest. Further work is
carried out to investigate the behaviour of the engine at various
applied loads; this is known as Engine Performance Testing.
EQUIPMENT The equipment comprises of a standard 1.4 litre
automotive engine, which is mounted on a test bed and connected to
a water-cooled dynamometer. Precise details of the engine are given
on the attached sheet. INSTRUMENTATION Instrumentation is available
to enable the accurate measurement of Engine Speed, Fuel Flow Rate,
Air/Fuel Ratio and Engine Torque. Further instructions on how to
use the various pieces of equipment will be given at the start of
the laboratory session. PROCEDURE I.Normally you will be required
to take a reading of the ambient pressure and temperature. However
for the purpose of this experiment, the valves for these two
parameters are set. See attached sheet. II.Start the engine and
allow it to warm up. Adjust the throttle to a setting, which is on
or close to fully open. Increase the dynamometer load to the
maximum value, which can be achieved without causing the engine to
run in an unstable way. III.Record the values of Engine Speed
(engine speed values already entered in results table but if any
different then correct accordingly), Time taken to consume the
prescribed amount of fuel, Air/Fuel Ratio, and Dynamometer Torque
on the attached experimental results table. IV. Reduce the
dynamometer load so that the engine speed increases by 200rpm (this
will be the rate of increase until the engine speed reaches
3000rpm, after this point the engine speed will be increased by
100rpm). Take a new set of readings. V. Repeat (IV) until the
dynamometer is having no braking effect or until the engine has
reached the maximum speed of about 4700rpm as set by the Laboratory
Supervisor. 49 ANALYSIS I.Consider each set of readings and
calculate Brake Power, Volumetric Efficiency, Thermal Efficiency,
Brake Specific Fuel Consumption and Brake Mean Effective Pressure
(see attached Formulae Sheet). II.Produce graphs which show how
each of these parameters varies with engine speed. REPORT Write a
report, which clearly describes your work. You should include this
handout in an Appendix and refer to it as necessary. Give a concise
description of the equipment and instrumentation and describe any
matters which were relevant to the general conduct of the
experiment and which have. already not been covered. Also a
Schematic drawing of the experimental layout will be required.
Finally, produce a discussion, which clearly describes WHY each of
the experimental data follows the trends shown on your graphs.
PITFALLS The main area you are likely to make a mistake, which will
carry through your caldulations, will be the use of correct units.
Pay particular attention to this. REPORT LAYOUT Refer to the
departmental notes on report writing, this you should have if not,
you can obtained a copy from the department office, or on the learn
server. To access it on the learn server, log on, and go to the
department, select the course you are studying, select general
model this is under the code TTZOO, and finally select notes on
report writing. On a whole a good write up should take the form of:

-Introduction -Aims -Objectives -Description and experimental
procedure -Equipment used -Theory - Evaluation/discussion of
results -Conclusion -Appendices The above layout is only for
thought and you should refer to the departmental publication on

by dv / W mep = where W: specific work of one cycle dv :specific
displacement volume Mean effective pressure is a good parameter to
compare engines for design or output because it is independent of
engine size and/or speed. If brake work is used, brake mean
effective pressure is obtained. d bv / W bmep = Indicated work

combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel. Air is used to supply the oxygen

transition under the motive force of a temperature difference.Heat
transfer (H.T.) deals with the study of the rate at which such
energy is transferred. 1.2What is it for? For two types of
engineering problems Design of boilers and heat exchangers:
Promotion or maximising of the rate of heat transfer with the
minimum possiblesurface areas and temperature difference. Design of
thermal insulation structure Prevention or minimising of the heat
transfer rate e.g. lagging of jet pipes, wall of domestic building,
cooling of combustor wall etc. 1.3What is the mechanism of H.T.?
There are three modes of heat transfer Conduction Convection
Radiation Conduction i)Heat is transferred on a molecular scale
with no movement of macroscopic portions of matter relative to one
another. ii)Vibrational energy from more energetic molecules to
those with lower energy. iii)It is the predominant method of HT in
solids. iv)Good electrical conductors are usually good thermal
conductors (High K) v)Higher density, higher elasticity higher K
Convection i)H.T. is caused by the motion of a fluid. ii)This
motion of a fluid is resulted from density difference (natural
buoyancy forcesnatural convection or free convection). e.g. heat
transferred from a hot-plate to the atmosphere. iii)Also the fluid
movement can be caused by external forces (e.g. by a pump) forced
convection.e.g. domestic fan-heater for room heating. 63 Radiation
i)All matter continuously emits electro-magnetic (EM) radiation
(i.e. transfer of thermo energy) unless its temp is absolute zero.
Radiation is the H.T. by EM waves. ii)The higher the temp, the
greater is the energy radiated. iii)This mode of H.T. does not
require medium for its propagation i.e. no physical material is
required (vacuum medium is all right) 2.Fouriers Law of Conduction
We are only interested in one dimensional steady-state heat
flow.Temperature varies in one direction only and does not change
with time. Fouriers Law is an empirical law based on observation
dxdT. A . k Q =(1.1) whereQ= rate of heat flow in x direction (W)
A= cross-sectional area normal (right angle) to the direction of
heat flow ( )2m dxdT= temperature gradient (K/m) k = coefficient of
thermal conductivity (W/m.K.) It is the heat flow per unit area per
unit time when the temp. decreased by one degree in unit distance.

transmission which requires no transfermedium. The amount of energy
transferred depends on the absolute temperature of the bodyand the
radiant properties of the surface. Dark bodies found to emit or
absorb a considerable high amount of radiant heatenergy as compared
with light bodies. 4.1Black Body Is a body which emit or absorb the

inventor claims to have devised a steady flow compressor which
requires no shaft power input. He claims that carbon dioxide at
13.6 bar and 49C can becompressed to 20.4 bar, where it will emerge
at -6C, simply by transfer of energy as heat from his device. His
patent application states that the device will handle 2kg of carbon
dioxide per second and is driven by a `cold source' at -95C towhich
the heat transfer rate is 92.4 kW. Carry out a critical analysis of
hisinvention: a)by investigating whether the claims are consistent
with the first law, and b)by calculating the total entropy change
during the process in order to see if the second law has been
violated. (For CO2 take R = 0.190 kJ/kgK and Cp = 0.84kJlkgK) 8/2A
heat engine operates in a Carnot Cycle, exchanging heat energy with
hot and cold reservoirs of temperature 1000K and 400K. If the heat
flow rate from the hot reservoir is 50 kW, calculate the rate of
heat rejection (do not resort to acalculation of cycle efficiency
in order to do this). Is it possible to have an engine which
operates between the same two reservoirs, also receiving heat at a
rate of 50 kW, but rejecting 10% less heat than thatcalculated
above? Briefly explain your answer by making reference to: i)The
Entropy Principle, and ii)The concept of Carnot Efficiency 92 9.Air
