Chapter 9. Compression processes

Compression and pressurization processes are very common in many types of industrial plants. These processes vary from being the primary function of a piece of equipment, such as an air compressor, to an incidental result of another process, such as filling a tank with water without first opening the valve.

1.32 Apply the ideal gas laws to SOLVE for the unknown pressure, temperature, or volume.

1.33 DESCRIBE when a fluid may be considered to be incompressible.

1.34 CALCULATE the work done in constant pressure and constant volume processes.

1.35 DESCRIBE the effects of pressure changes on confined fluids.

1.36 DESCRIBE the effects of temperature changes on confined fluids.
