  2. Isobaric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobaric_process

    Isobaric expansion of a gas pressurized to 2 atmospheres by a 10,333.2 kg mass. Like before, the gas doubles in volume and temperature while remaining at the same pressure. The second process example is similar to the first, except that the massless piston is replaced by one having a mass of 10,332.2 kg, which doubles the pressure of the ...

  3. Thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion

    A number of materials contract on heating within certain temperature ranges; this is usually called negative thermal expansion, rather than "thermal contraction".For example, the coefficient of thermal expansion of water drops to zero as it is cooled to 3.983 °C (39.169 °F) and then becomes negative below this temperature; this means that water has a maximum density at this temperature, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    TOP (A) and BOTTOM (C) of the loop: a pair of parallel isobaric processes RIGHT (B) and LEFT (D) of the loop: a pair of parallel isochoric processes If the working substance is a perfect gas , U {\displaystyle U} is only a function of T {\displaystyle T} for a closed system since its internal pressure vanishes.

  5. Thermogravitational cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermogravitational_cycle

    2→3: While the ballon lays at the bottom, the working fluid receives heat from the hot source at temperature T H and undergoes isobaric expansion at pressure P h. 3→4: The balloon rises towards the column top. The working fluid undergoes adiabatic expansion with a drop in temperature and reaches pressure P 0 after expansion when the balloon ...

  8. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    To distinguish these two thermal expansion equations of state, the latter one is called pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state. To deveop the pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state, in an compression process at room temperature from (V 0, T 0, P 0) to (V 1, T 0,P 1), a general form of volume is expressed as

  9. Brayton cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brayton_cycle

    The compressed air then passes through a mixing chamber where fuel is added, an isobaric process. The pressurized air and fuel mixture is then ignited in an expansion cylinder and energy is released, causing the heated air and combustion products to expand through a piston/cylinder, another ideally isentropic process.
