Thermodynamics deals with the relationship between heat and other properties like pressure and temperature in a substance. Specifically, it focuses on how heat transfer relates to various energy changes within a physical system undergoing a thermodynamic process. The document then outlines various vapor power cycles like the Rankine cycle and its variations involving reheat and regeneration that are used to produce mechanical work. It also discusses gas power cycles, gas compression analysis, and the properties of real gases.

OVERVIEW OF THERMODYNAMICS 2 THERMODYNAMICS
THERMODYNAMICS IS THE FIELD OF PHYSICS THAT DEALS WITH
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEAT AND OTHER PROPERTIES (SUCH AS PRESSURE, DENSITY, TEMPERATURE, ETC.) IN A SUBSTANCE. SPECIFICALLY, THERMODYNAMICS FOCUSES LARGELY ON HOW A HEAT TRANSFER IS RELATED TO VARIOUS ENERGY CHANGES WITHIN A PHYSICAL SYSTEM UNDERGOING A THERMODYNAMIC PROCESS. THE CONTENTS OF THERMODYNAMICS 2:
A. PROPERTIES OF STEAM H. REHEAT-REGENERATIVE CYCLE
B. USE OF STEAM TABLE I. BINARY CYCLES C. PROCESS OF VAPORS J. TOPPING OR SUPERPOSING CYCLES D. VAPOR POWER CYCLES K. INCOMPLETE EXPANSION ENGINE E. SIMPLE RANKINE CYCLE L. OTHER GAS POWER CYCLE • COMPONENTS OF A SIMPLE VAPOR POWER CYCLE M. GAS COMPRESSION ANALYSIS F. REHEAT CYCLE N. REAL GASES G. REGENERATIVE CYCLE TERMINOLOGIES • STEAM IS AN INVISIBLE GAS CONSISTING OF VAPORIZED WATER, WHICH IS FORMED WHEN WATER BOILS. • STEAM TABLES ARE DEFINED AS THE THERMODYNAMIC DATA THAT CONTAIN THE PROPERTIES OF WATER OR STEAM. • VAPOR IS THE GASEOUS STATE OF A SUBSTANCE THAT IS EITHER LIQUID OR SOLID BEFORE IT REACHES ITS CRITICAL POINT. • VAPOR POWER CYCLES, AS THE NAME SUGGESTS, USE VAPOR IN ONE PHASE OF THE CYCLE FOR POWER GENERATION OR FOR MOVING THE PRIME MOVER IN STEAM POWER PLANTS OR IN STEAM POWERED SHIPS. • THE RANKINE CYCLE IS ONE OF MANY THERMODYNAMIC CYCLES THAT IS USED TO PRODUCE MECHANICAL WORK. TERMINOLOGIES • THE REHEAT CYCLE INCREASES THE TURBINE WORK AND CONSEQUENTLY THE NET WORK OF THE CYCLE. • THE REGENERATIVE CYCLE. REGENERATION IN THERMODYNAMICS PROCESS REFERS TO A METHOD WHERE THE CERTAIN QUANTITY OF HEAT ABSTRACTED FROM THE STEAM IS UTILIZED TO HEAT THE WATER. • A BINARY VAPOR CYCLE IS DEFINED IN THERMODYNAMICS AS A POWER CYCLE THAT IS A COMBINATION OF TWO CYCLES, ONE IN A HIGH TEMPERATURE REGION AND THE OTHER IN A LOWER TEMPERATURE REGION. • TOPPING CYCLE IS THE PROCESS OF USING FUEL TO GENERATE MECHANICAL ENERGY WHICH IS USED TO CREATE ELECTRICITY USING A GENERATOR. • EXPANSION ENGINE IS A VERTICAL SINGLE ACTING RECIPROCATING TYPE HIGH PRESSURE ENGINE FOR OXYGEN AND NITROGEN MANUFACTURING. TERMINOLOGIES • GAS POWER CYCLES DEAL WITH SYSTEMS THAT PRODUCE POWER IN WHICH THE WORKING FLUID REMAINS A GAS THROUGHOUT THE CYCLE (IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS NO CHANGE IN PHASE). • A GAS IS A SAMPLE OF MATTER THAT CONFORMS TO THE SHAPE OF A CONTAINER IN WHICH IT IS HELD AND ACQUIRES A UNIFORM DENSITY INSIDE THE CONTAINER, EVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF GRAVITY AND REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE IN THE CONTAINER. • A GAS COMPRESSOR IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE THAT INCREASES THE PRESSURE OF A GAS BY REDUCING ITS VOLUME. • COMPRESSORS ARE SIMILAR TO PUMPS: BOTH INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON A FLUID AND BOTH CAN TRANSPORT THE FLUID THROUGH A PIPE. • A GAS IS A FORM OF MATTER THAT DOES NOT HAVE A DEFINED SHAPE OR VOLUME. • A REAL GAS IS A GAS THAT DOES NOT BEHAVE AS AN IDEAL GAS DUE TO INTERACTIONS BETWEEN GAS MOLECULES.
