Module 10
Applying Entropy: Isentropic Efficiency
1
Isentropic Processes: Reversible and Adiabatic
Define an isentropic process as a reversible and adiabatic process (constant entropy).
2
Analyzing Isentropic Devices
Use isentropic relations and property tables to analyze ideal turbines, compressors, and nozzles.
3
Isentropic Processes: The Adiabatic Benchmark
Explain how an isentropic process serves as an ideal benchmark for real adiabatic devices.
4
Turbine Isentropic Efficiency
Define and calculate the isentropic (or adiabatic) efficiency of a turbine.
5
Compressor and Pump Isentropic Efficiency
Define and calculate the isentropic (or adiabatic) efficiency of a compressor or pump.
Isentropic Efficiency
Solve problems comparing the actual performance of devices to their idealized isentropic performance.
