Overview

Engineering reference data for Heat Gain Equipment in thermodynamics.

Key Formulas

First Law

ΔU=QW\Delta U = Q - W

Energy is conserved — heat added minus work done.

Ideal Gas Law

PV=nRTPV = nRT

Relates pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas.

Heat Transfer

Q=mcΔTQ = mc\Delta T

Sensible heat transfer.

Carnot Efficiency

η=1TC/TH\eta = 1 - T_C/T_H

Maximum efficiency between two temperatures.
