Open power cycles such as the air-standard Brayton
cycle and vapor cycles such as the Rankine
cycle are covered in this branch.
Open refrigeration cycles such as the reversed Brayton cycle and vapor compression refrigeration cycles such as the reversed Rankine
cycle are covered in this branch.
Combustion in open-steady devices (combustors) is covered in this branch. A typical
problem could be to determine the adiabatic temperature in a steady-state
combustor.
