-
The principal constituents of a fuel are
-
In an extensive property of a thermodynamic system
-
When a gas is heated at constant pressure
-
By decreasing the highest temperature in the Carnot cycle, its efficiency is increased.
-
Workdone during adiabatic expansion is given by (where p1 v1, T1 = Pressure, volume and temperature for the initial condition of gas, p2, v2, T2 = Corresponding values for the final condition of gas, R = Gas constant, and γ = Ratio of specific heats)
