THERMODYNAMIC CYCLES

Objective: Operate a functional model of a Stirling engine as a heat engine A hot-air engine is a classical example of a heat engine. In the course of a thermodynamic cycle thermal energy is fed in from a high temperature reservoir and ... more

Objective: Record a p-V diagram. Cyclic processes in thermodynamics can be plotted as a closed loop in a p-V diagram. The area enclosed by the curve corresponds to the mechanical work taken from the system. Alternatively, the mechanical ... more

Objective: Record and analyse the pressure-enthalpy diagram for a compression heat pump An electric compression heat pump consists of a compressor with a drive motor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator. Its functioning ... more
