  2. Isenthalpic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isenthalpic_process

    The throttling process is a good example of an isoenthalpic process in which significant changes in pressure and temperature can occur to the fluid, and yet the net sum the associated terms in the energy balance is null, thus rendering the transformation isoenthalpic. The lifting of a relief (or safety) valve on a pressure vessel is an example ...

  3. Flash evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_evaporation

    The flash evaporation of a single-component liquid is an isenthalpic process and is often referred to as an adiabatic flash. The following equation, derived from a simple heat balance around the throttling valve or device, is used to predict how much of a single-component liquid is vaporized.

  4. Enthalpy–entropy chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy–entropy_chart

    In an isenthalpic process, the enthalpy is constant. [2] A horizontal line in the diagram represents an isenthalpic process. A vertical line in the h–s chart represents an isentropic process. The process 3–4 in a Rankine cycle is isentropic when the steam turbine is said to be an ideal one. So the expansion process in a turbine can be ...

    Isenthalpic : The process that proceeds without any change in enthalpy or specific enthalpy. Polytropic : The process that obeys the relation =. Reversible : The process where the net entropy production is zero; =.

  6. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    Adiabatic process: occurs without loss or gain of energy by heat; Isenthalpic process: occurs at a constant enthalpy; Isentropic process: a reversible adiabatic process, occurs at a constant entropy; Isobaric process: occurs at constant pressure; Isochoric process: occurs at constant volume (also called isometric/isovolumetric)

  7. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    Most steady-flow devices operate under adiabatic conditions, and the ideal process for these devices is the isentropic process. The parameter that describes how efficiently a device approximates a corresponding isentropic device is called isentropic or adiabatic efficiency.

  8. Biological thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_thermodynamics

    Biological thermodynamics (Thermodynamics of biological systems) is a science that explains the nature and general laws of thermodynamic processes occurring in living organisms as nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems that convert the energy of the Sun and food into other types of energy.
