Aug 14, 2005 · Can a polytropic process define a problem in which flow occurs? pv^n = constant I raise this question because I have been under the impression that this process is where the …

Feb 5, 2013 · Thank you for your question. Let me start with the basics. Understanding thermodynamics often requires one to delve into the world of isentropic and

Apr 15, 2009 · When we talk about control volume, isentropic internally reversible process (isn't above one also reversible???) then work is defined as W = -∫Vdp and for polytropic process for …

Air in a closed-piston cylinder is initially at 100 kPa and 27°C. It is then compressed until the pressure reaches 2 MPa in a polytropic process with n = 1.3. Determine how much boundary …

Sep 12, 2006 · I assume that without intercooling the operation would be Polytropic. Is it correct to say that in an Polytropic process some cooling applies, therefore, somewhere in between …

Mar 27, 2005 · Polytropic process accounts for the path (small stages) where as isentropic only considers the start and end point. Using polytropic efficiency gives a more accurate calculation …

A closed system consisting of 10 lb of air undergoes a polytropic process from p₁-70 lbf/in², v₁-4 ft³/lb to a final state where p2 - 20 lbf/in², v₂-12 ft³/lb. Determine the polytropic exponent, n, and …

Argon is compressed in a polytropic process with n = 1.2 from 120 kPa and 10°C to 800 kPa in a piston-cylinder device. Determine the work produced and heat transferred during this …
