3. Basic thermodynamic cycles
In this section, we study and dimension machines (liquefiers or refrigerators) for a given operating condition. We do not deal here with the operation of given machines in different regimes (§ 6 ).
To simplify the calculations below, no account is taken of pressure losses in...
