| Reciprocating
Cycles (IC Engines)
The air-standard reciprocating cycles such as the Otto, Diesel or Stirling cycles, simulating internal combustion engines, can be constructed from a series of generic Closed Processes forming a loop. A Cycle layer is added on top of the Generic Closed Process daemons to build these specific daemons. Once the processes are fully evaluated, the cycle variables are automatically calculated. Although it may be tedius to construct a cycle, the TEST-Code produced can be used later to instantly re-generate the solution. |

| HVAC
of Closed Systems
Psychrometry of closed systems undergoing a process is handled by this specific daemon. Because of the possibility of liquid water being added to or condensed out of the system, non-uniform begin and finish States are allowed. A closed chamber of moist air cools down. To determine how much water condenses. Two chambers of moist air, one much cooler than the other, are connected through a duct. To determine if there is going to be condensation or not as a result of the mixing. |

| Combustion
in Closed Chambers
Processes involving combustion of hydrocarbon fuels in a closed combustion chamber. After balancing the chemical reaction on the Reaction panel, you 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 temeprature. This daemon does not have the Super-Calculate feature. |
