Assume a process for each of the four devices (1) compressor as adiabatic with efficiency of 85%, (2) combustion chamber as isobaric, (3) turbine as adiabatic with efficiency of 89%, and (4) heat exchanger as isobaric on both hot and cold sides. Input the given information (1) working fluid is air, (2) inlet pressure and temperature of the compression device are 14.7 psia and 60°F, (3) inlet pressure and temperature of the turbine are 120 psia and 2000°F, (4) mass flow rate of air is 1 Ibm/sec, (5) exit pressure of the turbine is 14.7 psia, (6) display the exit temperature of the compressor (it is 562.5°F), and (7) input the exit temperature of the exhaust turbine gas...

A thermodynamic quantity of considerable importance in many combustion problems is the adiabatic flame temperature. If a given combustible mixture (a closed system) at a specified initial T and p is allowed to approach chemical equilibrium by means of an isobaric, adiabatic process, then the final temperature attained by the system is the adiabatic flame temperature T. Clearly depends on the pressure, the initial temperature and the initial composition of the system. The equations governing the process are p = constant (isobaric), H = constant (adiabatic, isobaric) and the atom-conservation equations combining these with the chemical-equilibrium equations (at p, T ) determines all final conditions (and therefore, in particular, Tj). Detailed procedures for solving the governing equations to obtain Tj> are described in [17], [19], [27], and [30], for example. Essentially, a value of Tf is assumed, the atom-conservation equations and equilibrium equations are solved as indicated at the end of Section A.3, the final enthalpy is computed and compared with the initial enthalpy, and the entire process is repeated for other values of until the initial and final enthalpies agree. 

Inspection of the experimental results guides the modeling of the state inside the bubble. We consider several steps, see Fig.3 From Pq to pg the compression is adiabatic, then follows an isochoric combustion leading to the state Pg, Tg. On the new adiabate 3, a further compression to the maximum pressure Pg Snay take place and, finally/ the products will be expanded to p. Since at r the gas temperature will still be high, there is little condensation up to this point, especially due to the buffering effect of the inert gas component. The process will be finished by a slow isobaric cooling and condensation to the end point In this first approach, effects like radiation, heat conduction, and compressibility are neglected. 

Fig. 1.18 An adiabatic flame calorimeter, an example of an isobaric calorimeter, consists of this component immersed in a stirred water bath. Combustion occurs as a known amount of reactant is passed through to fuel the flame and the rise of temperature is monitored.

Sample preparation CO2 gas is produced from carbonate minerals by reaction with 100% H3PO4 or by thermal decomposition. The carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of the carbonate can be determined simultaneously from the CO2 produced. d C values from organic samples are analysed by combusting the material at high temperature with an oxygen source (commonly CuO) in sealed quartz tubes. Ion currents at mass 44, 45 and 46 produced from CO2 gas are measured in order to determine a d C value. The isobaric interference at mass 45 from 0 (i.e. both and 2c 70 0+ will be collect-... 

Sample preparation Nitrogen isotope abundances are determined by measuring ions at masses 28 (14N14N+) and 29 ( N N+). Nitrogen compounds are converted to N2 gas by high temperature combustion in an elemental analyser. N2 gas introduced into the ion source must be free from CO or CO2 that produce an isobaric interference at masses 28 and 29. 

Finally, the high pressure liquid is brought back to a superheated vapor state in the boiler. It is in this step that energy released from the combustion of fuel is transferred to the working fiuid. The fuel provides the high-temperature reservoir for the boiler. The boiler isobarically heats the liquid to saturation, vaporizes it, and then superheats the vapor. The rate of heat transfer in the boiler is given by ...
