  2. Combined cycle power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle_power_plant

    One is the Joule or Brayton cycle which is a gas turbine cycle and the other is the Rankine cycle which is a steam turbine cycle. [5] The cycle 1-2-3-4-1 which is the gas turbine power plant cycle is the topping cycle. It depicts the heat and work transfer process taking place in the high temperature region.

  3. Anaerobic respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_respiration

    Anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation generate ATP in very different ways, and the terms should not be treated as synonyms. Cellular respiration (both aerobic and anaerobic) uses highly reduced chemical compounds such as NADH and FADH 2 (for example produced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle) to establish an electrochemical gradient (often a proton gradient) across a membrane.

  4. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  5. GAS1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAS1

    Gas-1 gene has been confirmed to be highly similar to the GFRα1 gene (28% similarity) while the Gas1 only consists of two domains which is different from the GFRα1-3 that composes of three domains. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Although the structure of GAS1 gene is similar to GFRαs, the function of GAS1 is largely different from GFRαs since the GAS 1 gene ...

  6. Gas-generator cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-generator_cycle

    The gas-generator cycle, also called open cycle, is one of the most commonly used power cycles in bipropellant liquid rocket engines. Propellant is burned in a gas generator (or "preburner") and the resulting hot gas is used to power the propellant pumps before being exhausted overboard and lost.

  7. Lenoir cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenoir_cycle

    Utilizing that, for the isobaric process, T 3 /T 1 = V 3 /V 1, and for the adiabatic process, T 2 /T 3 = (V 3 /V 1) γ−1, the efficiency can be put in terms of the compression ratio, = (), where r = V 3 /V 1 is defined to be > 1. Comparing this to the Otto cycle's efficiency graphically, it can be seen that the Otto cycle is more efficient at ...

  8. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    The Otto Cycle is an example of a reversible thermodynamic cycle. 12: Isentropic / adiabatic expansion: Constant entropy (s), Decrease in pressure (P), Increase in volume (v), Decrease in temperature (T) 2→3: Isochoric cooling: Constant volume(v), Decrease in pressure (P), Decrease in entropy (S), Decrease in temperature (T)

  9. Methanogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanogenesis

    co 2 + 4 h 2 → ch 4 + 2 h 2 o CH 3 COOH → CH 4 + CO 2 During anaerobic respiration of carbohydrates, H 2 and acetate are formed in a ratio of 2:1 or lower, so H 2 contributes only c. 33% to methanogenesis, with acetate contributing the greater proportion.
