This Applied Thermodynamics For Process And Power Engineers eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.
Applied Thermodynamics for Process and Power Engineers covers thermodynamic analysis of industrial processes — steam power cycles, refrigeration, combustion, psychrometrics, and gas turbine cycles — with engineering calculations using steam tables, refrigerant property charts, and combustion gas analysis methods.
What standards does this book reference?
ASHRAE Fundamentals 2021 (refrigerant properties and psychrometrics), ASME PTC 4-2013 (fired steam generators performance test code), CEA thermal performance standards for Indian power plants, and IS 1228:1997 (diesel engine performance test code).
What steam cycle analysis is covered?
Rankine cycle first law analysis: W_net = (h1 – h2s) – (h4 – h3), where h1 is turbine inlet enthalpy (superheated steam from steam tables — at 17 MPa/540 degrees C: h1 = 3417 kJ/kg, s1 = 6.42 kJ/kg-K), h2s is isentropic turbine exit, h3 is condensate at pump inlet (saturated liquid), h4 = h3 + v3 x (P1 – P2) (pump work). Turbine isentropic efficiency: eta-is = (h1 – h2) / (h1 – h2s), typically 0.85-0.90 for modern steam turbines.
What combustion analysis is covered for process and power applications?
Theoretical air for fuel oil (C12H26): stoichiometric O2 = 12 + 26/4 = 18.5 mol O2 per mol fuel. At 20% excess: total air = 1.2 x 18.5 x 4.76 = 105.6 mol air per mol fuel. Flue gas analysis by Orsat apparatus: CO2%, O2%, CO% by volume. Combustion efficiency from stack temperature and O2% per ASME PTC 4-2013 indirect method.
