Engines Flashcards
BLANK- converts heat into some other energy.
Heat engine
BLANK- the amount of useful work it can produce based on the amount of heat that we give on it.
Thermal efficiency
BLANK- The second law states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it, is wasted.
Second law of thermodynamics
BLANK- written in his book there is the concept of the most efficient steam engine possible.
Sadi Carnot
BLANK was a German mathematician and physicist who introduced the concept of entropy around 1850.
Rudolf Clausius
BLANK is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that’s unavailable for doing work. It’s also the measure of the disorder, or randomness, of a system.
Entropy
BLANK - is a sequence of repetitive processes.
Cycle
The process that your fridge uses today is based on the work of 19th century American inventors BLANK.
Oliver Evans and Jacob Perkins
BLANK - helps to visualize the process.
Phase Diagram
The BLANK is a simple refrigerator made from one earthen pot set inside another, with a layer of wet sand in between them.
Zeer pot
BLANK - it explains how the fluid flows in a medium. I.E: How food coloring flows, how air flow as the car approaches. It is the study how fluids respond to the forces exerted to them.
Fluid Mechanics
BLANK - interaction between a medium and a flow. A thing moving from one place.
Transfer
BLANK - the force applied to an area or object or a substance.
Stress
BLANK - force is perpendicular to the surface of the object.
Normal Stress
If it is parallel it is BLANK stress.
sheer stress
BLANK - is the deformation that stress causes on the system.
Strain
BLANK - a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Often refers to the thickness of a fluid.
Viscosity
BLANK - whatever stress you may input to an object, its viscosity will remains the same.
Law of viscosity
BLANK studied fluid flow and learned that there are two main types of flow: Laminar and Turbulent.
Osborn Reynolds
BLANK - In fluid dynamics, laminar flow is characterized by fluid particles following smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with little or no mixing.
Laminar flow
BLANK - In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity. It is in contrast to a laminar flow, which occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers.
Turbulent flow
BLANK - combination of laminar and turbulent flow. It commonly has turbulent flow on the center of the pipe and laminar at the edges.
Transitional flow
BLANK - represent the driving kinetic movement of the fluid, which result in chaotic flow movement, like the swirling motion of eddies and vortices.
Inertial forces
BLANK - represent resistance to flow and are more likely to provide slow, steady motion.
