isentropic temperature
1Isentropic process — In thermodynamics, an isentropic process ( iso = equal (Greek); entropy = disorder ) is one during which the entropy of the system remains constant. [Van Wylen, G.J. and Sonntag, R.E., Fundamentals of Classical Thermodynamics , Section 7.4]… …
2isentropic chart — ▪ meteorology meteorological map that shows the moisture distribution and flow of air along a surface of constant entropy, which is also a surface of constant potential temperature (the temperature a parcel of dry air would have if brought… …
3Potential temperature — The potential temperature of a parcel of fluid at pressure P is the temperature that the parcel would acquire if adiabatically brought to a standard reference pressure P {0}, usually 1000 millibars. The potential temperature is denoted heta and,… …
4Stagnation temperature — is the temperature at a stagnation point in a fluid flow. At a stagnation point the speed of the fluid is zero and all of the kinetic energy has been converted to internal energy and is added to the local static enthalpy. In incompressible fluid… …
5Ocean thermal energy conversion — Temperature differences between the surface and 1000m depth in the oceans Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) uses the difference between cooler deep and warmer shallow or surface ocean waters to run a heat engine and produce useful work,… …
6Steam turbine — A rotor of a modern steam turbine, used in a power plant A steam turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam, and converts it into rotary motion. Its modern manifestation was invented by Sir Charles Parsons… …
7Turboexpander — A turboexpander, also referred to as a turbo expander or an expansion turbine, is a centrifugal or axial flow turbine through which a high pressure gas is expanded to produce work that is often used to drive a compressor. [cite book|author=Heinz… …
