  2. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    Whether carried out reversible or irreversibly, the net entropy change of the system is zero, as entropy is a state function. During a closed cycle, the system returns to its original thermodynamic state of temperature and pressure. Process quantities (or path quantities), such as heat and work are process dependent.

  3. Stefan problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_problem

    This is accomplished by solving heat equations in both regions, subject to given boundary and initial conditions. At the interface between the phases (in the classical problem) the temperature is set to the phase change temperature. To close the mathematical system a further equation, the Stefan condition, is required. This is an energy balance ...

    Theories published state the equations for the cycles as: physical: ⁡ (/), emotional: ⁡ (/), intellectual: ⁡ (/), where indicates the number of days since birth. Basic arithmetic shows that the combination of the simpler 23- and 28-day cycles repeats every 644 days (or 1 3 ⁄ 4 years), while the triple combination of 23-, 28-, and 33-day cycles repeats every 21,252 days (or 58.18+ years).

  5. Carnot cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot_cycle

    A Carnot cycle is an ideal thermodynamic cycle proposed by French physicist Sadi Carnot in 1824 and expanded upon by others in the 1830s and 1840s. By Carnot's theorem, it provides an upper limit on the efficiency of any classical thermodynamic engine during the conversion of heat into work, or conversely, the efficiency of a refrigeration system in creating a temperature difference through ...

    An example is the Meeus smoothing formula, [7] with related solar cycles characteristics available in this STCE news item. [8] The start of solar cycle 25 was declared by SIDC on September 15, 2020 as being in December 2019. [9] This makes cycle 24 the only "11-year solar cycle" to have lasted precisely 11 years.

  7. Thermochemical cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemical_cycle

    According to equation (10), the minimum required entropy change (right term) for the summation of the positive entropy changes decreases when T H increases. As an example, performing the same numerical application but with T H equals to 2000K would give a twice lower value (around 140 kJ/mol), which allows thermochemical cycles with only two ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclostationary_process

    For example, the maximum daily temperature in New York City can be modeled as a cyclostationary process: the maximum temperature on July 21 is statistically different from the temperature on December 20; however, it is a reasonable approximation that the temperature on December 20 of different years has identical statistics.
