    isochoric: adiabatic: isobaric Pulse jets. 1→2 accomplishes both the heat rejection and the compression. Originally developed for use in reciprocating engines.

  3. Isobaric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobaric_process

    Therefore, an isobaric process can be more succinctly described as =. Enthalpy and isochoric specific heat capacity are very useful mathematical constructs, since when analyzing a process in an open system, the situation of zero work occurs when the fluid flows at constant pressure. In an open system, enthalpy is the quantity which is useful to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_sickness

    A multiplace chamber is the preferred facility for treatment of decompression sickness as it allows direct physical access to the patient by medical personnel, but monoplace chambers are more widely available and should be used for treatment if a multiplace chamber is not available or transportation would cause significant delay in treatment ...

  5. Isochoric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isochoric_process

    An isochoric process is exemplified by the heating or the cooling of the contents of a sealed, inelastic container: The thermodynamic process is the addition or removal of heat; the isolation of the contents of the container establishes the closed system; and the inability of the container to deform imposes the constant-volume condition.

  6. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    LEFT and RIGHT sides of the loop: a pair of parallel isochoric processes Heat flows into the loop through the top isotherm and the left isochore, and some of this heat flows back out through the bottom isotherm and the right isochore, but most of the heat flow is through the pair of isotherms.

  7. Thermodynamic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_process

    An isochoric process is one in which the volume is held constant, with the result that the mechanical PV work done by the system will be zero. On the other hand, work can be done isochorically on the system, for example by a shaft that drives a rotary paddle located inside the system.

  8. Polytropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytropic_process

    Equivalent to an isochoric process (constant volume) When the index n is between any two of the former values (0, 1, γ , or ∞), it means that the polytropic curve will cut through (be bounded by ) the curves of the two bounding indices.

  9. Stirling cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_cycle

    A model of a four-phase Stirling cycle. Most thermodynamics textbooks describe a highly simplified form of Stirling cycle consisting of four processes. This is known as an "ideal Stirling cycle", because it is an "idealized" model, and not necessarily an optimized cycle.
