Mechanical Engineering :: Thermodynamics
-
To ensure complete and rapid combustion of a fuel, some quantity of air, in excess of the theoretical or minimum air is supplied.
-
According to Regnault's law, the specific heat at constant pressure (cp) and specific heat at constant volume (cv) __________ with the change in pressure and temperature of the gas.
-
Relation between cp and cv is given by (where cp = Specific heat at constant pressure, cv = Specific heat at constant volume, γ = cp/cv, known as adiabatic index, and R = Gas constant)
-
The heat and work are mutually convertible. This statement is called __________ law of thermodynamics.
