This course has enabled it to address the thermodynamic efficiency clacul initially for one cycle, then for an open system.
In the case of the cycle, we show that the maximum yield can be given by the Carnot formula:
yield = 1 - Tf / Tc
For an open system, the device is compared to an ideal device as well Nature:
- for a turbine, it takes a turbine adiabatic reversible (isentropic) operating between the same state at the entrance and the same pressure at the exhaust;
- for a compressor, it takes either a compressor adiabatic reversible ( isentropic) isothermal compressor is reversible in both cases, they operate between the same state at the entrance and the same pressure in the exhaust.
