What are the parameters in your equations, and what criterion are you using for failure?

Counter current heat exchangers, flash vaporizers, cooling towers, heat pumps, refrigeration units, mixing with ice, '''

Have you considered all possible scenarios. I think you should read up on the concept of exergy.

What do you mean by the term "cooling can be generated," and are you saying that this broad statement has no constraints? For example...

If I understand you correctly, right for an adiabatic process.

Here's a big surprise: The surroundings doing adiabatic compression work on a gas causes its internal energy and temperature to...

From a fundamental materials point of view, if the metal is isotropic and the sample in not constrained or loaded mechanically...

It's an interpretation, so not testable as far as we know. It's far and away the most popular interpretation, and fits well with the...

Cooling by expansion can be done with less energy consumption than by what? This seems to me to be basically just a standard reversible...

Here are my calculations for scenario 1. Given: Initial Temperature = ##T_i=300.2K## Initial Pressure = ##P_i=101325\ Pa## Number of...

There is no net work done on the piston, and, thus, no net energy "spent by the piston." I show this below. From Newton's 2nd law of...

I totally disagree with your interpretation and stand by what I said previously. You should know that I have a lot of practical...

Yes. If you are pulling the piston outward, the net work is equal to the work to push back the atmosphere plus the work done to pull on...

In Post #17, I calculated the change in internal energy U in scenario 1. In this post, I will should that this matches the work done by...

sorry;. If R=2 calories/mole-K, then 2.5R= 5 calories/mole-K. In our case,, R=8.314 Joules/mole-K, and 2.5 R = (2.5)(8.314)...
