Joule Thomson Effect Definition
When a real gas is subjected to adiabatic expansion process, where no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, it looses its...
Vapor Compression Refrigeration uses mechanical energy by repeating compression and expansion of coolant fluid to achieve cooling by Joule–Thomson effect. A...
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

Definition
Compressibility factor of gases is a thermodynamic property which is used to modify the ideal gas equation for real gases.
For Ideal gases, Ideal...
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 =...
