- Density
-
Mass of a substance per unit volume.
Unit: lbm/ft3 - enthalpy
-
Sum of the internal energy and flow energy of a substance.
Unit: BTU/lbm - Heat
-
Energy in transition; energy that flows from one location to another because a temp difference exists between those locations.
Unit: BTU - Heat of fusion
-
Heat required at melting temp to change one pound mass of a solid into liquid form.
Unit: BTU/lbm - Heat of Vaporization
-
Heat required at vaporization temp to change one pound mass of a liquid into gaseous form.
Unit: BTU/lbm - Internal Energy (u)
-
Energy possessed by a substance due to the random motion of the individual molecules of a substance.
Unit: BTU/lbm - Fluid
- Any substance that conforms to the shape of its container
- British Thermal Unit (BTU)
- Amount of heat required to increase the temp of one pound mass of water by 1f under standard temp and pressure conditions
- Latent Heat
- Heat added to or removed from a substance that produces a change in the phase of the substance (but no change in temp).
- Moisture Fraction
- The fraction of the total mass of a water/steam mixture that is liquid water.
- Phase
- The condition of a substance as defined by its fluidity.
- Process
- Series of state changes that occur when the properties of a system change.
- Quality (x)
- the fraction of the total mass of a water/steam mixture that is steam.
- Saturated (Dry) Steam
- 100% steam at saturation temp/saturation pressure conditions.
- Saturated Liquid Water
- 100% liquid water at saturation temp/saturation pressure conditions.
- Sensible Heat
- Heat added to or removed from a substance that produces a change in its temperature (but no change in phase).
- Specific Heat Capacity (cp)
-
Heat required to raise the temp of one pund mass of a material by 1F.
Unit: BTU/lbmF - Specific Volume (v)
-
Volume occupied per unit mass of a substance.
Unit: ft3/lbm - State
- A particular condition of a substance described by the (unique) values of its thermodynamic properties.
- Subcooled Liquid Water
- Water that exists at a temperature below aturation temp for the pressure of the water, or, equivalently, exists at a pressure above sat pressure fo the temp of the water
- Subcooling Margin (SCM)
-
The difference between the saturation temp and the actual temp of subcooled water;
SCM = Tsat - Tactual - Superheated Steam
- Steam existing at a temp above sat temp for the pressure of the steam.
- Temperature (T)
-
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.
Unit: F, R, C, K - Wet Steam
- A mixture of liquid water and steam, both at sat temp/pressure conditions.
- Working Fluid
- Any fluid which receives, transports and transfers energy in a fluid flow system.
