Power Cycles (Rankine Cycle)
Solve Rankine cycle problems with steam or any other phase-change fluid as the working substance. Complex cycles with regeneration, reheat etc. may be tedious to set up. However, with TEST-Code you can save a case and instantly regenerate the solution. A
Cycle panel is added to the Open Generic Steady-State daemon to build
these cycle daemons.

Power Cycles (Brayton Cycle)
Solve gas turbine problems with various ideal gases (variable cp) or perfect gases (constant cp) as the working fluid. Use TEST-Codes whenever possible to jump-start a case. A Cycle panel is added to the Open Generic Steady-State daemon to build these cycle daemons. |

Refrigeration Cycles
Solve refrigeration or heat pump cycle problems based on reverse Rankine cycle. The working fluid can be a parameter in the what-if studies. Simply change the fluid, say, from R-12 to R-134a, and use the Super-Calculate button to re-calculate the entire cycle. With TEST-Code, emailing a solution is now possible. |

| HVAC
The bulk of HVAC problems involve open, steady devices. Solve problems involving simple heating, simple cooling, humidification, de-humidification, mixing etc. |

| Combustion
Balance reactions from products analysis and solve problems involving steady-flow combustion chambers. After balancing the chemical reaction on the Reaction panel, set up the fuel, oxidizer and products states on the States panel, set the process variables in the Analysis panel and Calculate unknowns such as heat transfer or adiabatic flame temperature. This daemon does not have the Super-Calculate feature. |

Dynamics
Solve high speed flows of gases through nozzles. Solve isentropic flow problems, and problems involving normal and oblique shocks. Isentropic table, shock table, Delta-Theta and Prandtl-Meyer tables are part of the daemon. |
