Million Standard Cubic Feet per Day (MMSCFD)
MMSCFD is a unit for gas flow rates expressed at standard temperature and pressure conditions. Volumetric flow of...
Basic thermodynamic attributes of mass and energy conservation are clearly outlined in the First Law of Thermodynamics. First law basically dictates that the...
Thermodynamic cycles are a combination of processes so that heat may be converted to work on a continuous basis. Some of the most basic thermodynamic cycles...
Sample Problem Statement
What is the NM3/hr (normal cubic meter per hour) and SM3/hr (standard cubic meter per hour) flowrate corresponding to 100m3/hr of...
Purpose and applications of standard temperature and pressure
Standard temperature and pressure conditions as well as normal temperature and pressure...
Besides steam pressure and steam temperature, other important steam key properties include as a minimum the following:
Steam Enthalpy
Put is simply, enthalpy...
Compressibility factor of gases is a thermodynamic property which is used to modify the ideal gas equation for real gases.
For Ideal gases, Ideal gas equation...
A system can reach from state A to state B following different paths. These paths followed by a system while undergoing a change of state, are termed as...
The behaviour of an Ideal gas is described by the following equation,
PV = nRT
where,
P = Pressure (bar, atmosphere, Pa)
V = Gaseous volume (m3, cm3)
n =...
Heat capacity of a system can be defined as the quantum of heat required to increase the temperature of the system by unity.
Specific heat is a property of...
Gas compression is done to increase the pressure of the gas, this is accompanied by change of state of the gas which means change in temperature and volume of...
