If you have a good basic foundation in energy conversion analysis, this course will take you up another step to a more advanced understanding of the subject. In this interactive course you will learn about the ideal simple and basic power cycles, power cycle components/processes and compressible flow components and their T - s and h - T diagrams, operation and major performance trends. You will review basic elements of Carnot Cycle, Brayton Cycle, Otto Cycle, Diesel Cycle, compression, combustion, expansion processes and compressible flow (nozzle, diffuser and thrust) and their T - s, p - V and h - T diagrams. You'll get figures, graphs, tables, and equations to enhance and solidify your understanding of the material.
