    Could somebody please explain the vapor compression cycle?

    Its because if the fluid is a mixture of vapor and liquid, all the heat that it receives is considered latent heat, so it is only used to change the fluids' state (mixture ratio, in this case increase vapor and decrease liquid), therefore its temperature does not change. No, the internal energy...

    Polytropic Process equation [Thermodynamics]

    Hello there, So yesterday my thermodynamics professor did some black magic and transformed our beloved equation (1/(1-n))*(p1v1-p2v2) into (n/(n-1))*(p1v1-p2v2), but i didnt understand why he did it and how (he is too fast for my writing). Does anyone know how he did it, are there any...
