History: Tesla began experimenting with boundary layer fluid dynamics around 1906. He first publicly showcased a working 200 horsepower model running at 16000 RPM on his 50th birthday July 10, 1906. Tesla filed for his primary turbine patent on October 21, 1909. It was officially granted as U.S. Patent 1061206 on May 6,1913. In a […]
Classical and the statistical approaches to thermodynamics: Classical thermodynamics is based on experimental observations whereas statistical thermodynamics is based on the average behaviour of large groups of particles. The light-year: In this unit, the word light refers to the speed of light. The light-year unit is then the product of a velocity and time. Hence,
After the working fluid expands and produces work. Therefore, the working fluid is still hot. To reuse it again, the fluid must be cooled back through leaving the heat to a heat Sink or in case of a heat engine a condenser must be used. In case of the removal of condenser Let us take
