|
Compression Ratio |
Ratio of the total volume of cylinder at bottom dead center to the total volume of cylinder at top dead center r=V1/V2 |
|
|
Mean Effective Pressure |
Theoretical constant pressure needed to act on the piston to produce the same net work as produced at the cylinder |
|
|
Dead State |
When the system is in equilibrium with the environment giving exergy equal to zero |
|
|
Back Work Ratio |
The ratio of the work input to the work output bwr=Wc/Wt |
|
|
Exergy |
The maximum theoretical work that can be done by a system as it interacts with the environment at equilibrium, ex=0 (dead state)
|
|
|
Regenerator |
Allows air exiting the compressor to be preheated before entering the combustor, reducing the amount of fuel needed to burn |
