Air-standard closed cycles such as the Otto,
Diesel,
Ericson
and Stirling cycles, are handled here.
A typical problem could involve how the thermal efficiency changes with
the compression ratio of a Diesel cycle.
Combustion
Systems involving closed combustion process is handled here. A typical
problem could involve determination of the final pressure after a fuel and oxidizer is ignited
in a sealed container.
Psychrometry
HVAC
Closed system undergoing a psychrometric process involving moist air is handled here.
A typical problem could be to find the amount of condensate, if any,
when a closed volume of air undergoes a cooling and dehumidification process.
