Tutorial (TOC) > Daemons

The state daemons are the building blocks of all other daemons and must be mastered first. You will find hands-on examples as well as background information on each daemon in this tutorial. For more examples with a particular daemon, visit the chapters mentioned in parenthesis in the Example module.
Unit Converter, DeskCal, Traditional tables and charts are covered in this tutorial. Brayton cycle and jet engines. (Ch. 8). (prereq: open steady daemons).
Evaluation of properties and states using different material models. (Ch. 3, 11). Rankine cycle. (Ch. 9). (prereq: open steady daemons).
Generic open steady systems such as pumps, turbines, etc. (Ch. 4, 6). (prereq: flow state daemons). Vapor compression and gas refrigeration cycles. (Ch. 10). (prereq: open steady daemons).
Overall heat engine, refrigerator, or heat pump cycles can be treated as steady closed systems. (Ch. 2). Psychrometry and air conditioning. (Ch. 12). (prereq: open steady daemons).
Closed systems undergoing a process as in the compression of a gas in a piston-cylinder device. (Ch. 5, 6). (prereq: system state daemons). Combustion in open steady systems and closed processes. (Ch. 13). (prereq: open steady and closed process daemons).
