The result was a design challenge in which the students where asked to design a three processes gas power cycle. In our approach to the design we consider different thermodynamics law in order to achieve the ideal closed system gas power cycle. Problem statement Design a closed-system air-standard gas power cycle composed of three processes and having a minimum thermal efficiency of 20 percent. The processes may be isothermal, isobaric, isochoric, isentropic, polytrophic, or pressure as a linear function of volume; however, the Otto, Diesel, Ericsson, and Stirling cycles may not be used. Prepare an engineering report describing your design, showing the system, P-v and T-s diagrams, and sample calculations. Principles and theory An isentropic process is one in which the entropy of the...
