Thermodynamics tutorial heat pump and refrigeration
Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space, or from a substance, and rejecting it elsewhere for the primary purpose of lowering the temperature of the enclosed space or substance and then maintaining that lower temperature. The term cooling refers generally to any natural or artificial process by which heat is dissipated. The process of artificially producing extreme cold temperatures is referred to as cryogenics. (wikipedia)

Thermodynamic Analysis of Compressed Air Vehicle Propulsion
by : European Fuel Cell Forum
The fist compressed air vehicles were built by Andraud and TessiƩ du Motay in
Paris between 1838 and 1840. Since then the idea has been tried again and
again, but has never reached commercialization. In recent years the French
developer MDI has demonstrated advanced compressed air vehicles. However,
the claimed performance has been questioned by car manufacturers and
automobile expert. Basically, when referred to ambient conditions, the relatively
low energy content of the compressed air in a tank of acceptable volume is
claimed to be insufficient to move even small cars over meaningful distances
On the other hand, another air car developer claims to have driven 184 km on
one 300 Liter filled with air at initially 300 bar pressure. Obviously, there are
issues to be resolved, not by heated debates, but by an analysis of the
thermodynamic processes involved. This is the aim of this study

Selected Values of Chemical Thermodynamic Properties
Prepared by David R. Lide.
Introduction
The theoretical framework of thermodynamics was well established by the time NBS was founded, and certain important applications, such as improving the efficiency of steam engines, had been demonstrated. However, the broad application of hermodynamics to the design and control of industrial processes had to await the accumulation and organization of a large amount of experimental data, as well as theoretical contributions from quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. The appearance of Selected Values of Chemical Thermodynamic Properties [1] in 1952 marked a significant milestone in this process. This book represented the culmination of 20 years of work
by Frederick D. Rossini and coworkers in evaluating and systematizing the data that had appeared in the world literature on thermochemistry.

Thermodynamic Properties of Liquid Alkali Metals Using a Charged Hard, Sphere Reference System
this journal now available and free download able at Chinese journal of physics, written by P. B. Thakor, V. N. Patel, P. N. Gajjar, and A. R. Jani from Department of Physics, Sardar Patel University, Gujarat, India, introduce The Gibbs-Bogoliubov (GB) inequality, the experiment results : Structure of liquid metals,Thermodynamic properties,Pseudopotential method.
abstraction
The Gibbs-Bogoliubov (GB) inequality is used to evaluate the Helmholtz free energy of
liquid alkali metals as a function of temperature. The structural contribution to the Helmholtz free energy is investigated by adopting a charged hard sphere fluid model. A well established single parametric local pseudopotential is applied to describe the electron-ion interaction along with five different local field correction functions viz; Hartree, Taylor, Ichimaru and Utsumi, Farid et al., and Sarkar et al., 6.2% to 51.15% of the influence on the Helmholtz free energy is concluded to be due to these local field correction functions with respect to the static Hartree dielectric function. Very good agreement with experimental results is achieved.

engineering thermodynamic steam and gas turbine power plant
The gas-turbine operates on the principle of the Brayton cycle, where compressed air is mixed with fuel, and burned under constant pressure conditions. The resulting hot gas is allowed to expand through a turbine to perform work. In a 33% efficient gas-turbine approximately two / thirds of this work is spent compressing the air, the rest is available for other work

System and Boundary in thermodynamic
A thermodynamic system is defined as a quantity of matter or a region in space chosen for analysis,
surrounding or environment
is can defined as the mass or region outside the system or everything external to the system
boundary
The closed surface that separates the system from its surroundings, through which energy and mass may enter or leave the system.
Boundaries can be fixed or movable Boundaries can be real (cylinder walls and piston surfaces in an internal combustion engine) , In many cases, a thermodynamic analysis must be made of a device, such as a heat exchanger, that involves a flow of mass into and/or out of the device.
Boundaries can also be imaginary (cross sections of pipes at the entrance and exit of turbines)
It is possible to subdivide a system into subsystems, or to group several systems together into a larger system
Thermodynamic System Types
There are three kinds of systems depending on the kinds of exchanges taking place between a thermodynamic system and its environment : isolated, closed and open system
isolated systems: is one with rigid walls that has no communication (i.e., no heat, mass,or work transfer) with its surroundings. An example of an isolated system would be an insulated container, such as an insulated gas cylinder
closed systems: system is one in which the system mass cannot cross the boundary, but energy
can (heat or work). A greenhouse is an example of a closed system exchanging heat but not work with its environment. Whether a system exchanges heat, work or both is usually thought of as a property of its boundary, which can be
adiabatic boundary: not allowing heat exchange;
rigid boundary: not allowing exchange of work
so we can get conclusion the important point of closed system are :
- Consists of a fixed amount of mass
- No mass can cross its boundary
- No mass can enter or leave a closed system Volume does not have to be fixed
- But energy, in the form of heat or work can cross the boundary
- when the piston rises, the boundary of the system moves Heat and work crosses the boundary of the system during this process but not mass
open systems:system is one in which mass can cross the system boundary in addition to energy. A boundary allowing matter exchange is called permeable. The ocean would be an example of an open system
so we can get conclusion the important point of closed system are :
- The procedure in such an analysis is to specify control volume that surrounds the device under consideration
- The boundaries of a control volume are called a control surface
- Mass as well as heat and work can flow across the control surface
from picture below we can see open system and closed system, where even energy is not
allowed to cross the boundary in closed system, that system is called an isolated system.
