Equations

Unread postby EnviroEngr » Tue 01 Mar 2005, 19:30:21

Engineering Equations:

Thermodynamics, enthalpy

h = enthalpy, Btu/lb
P = absolute pressure, psia
U = internal energy, Btu/lb
v = specific volume, ft3/lb

h = U + 0.185 P v


Thermodynamics, isobaric process: entropy change

Cp = specific heat, constant pressure, Btu/lb/°F
T = absolute temperature, °R
s = entropy, Btu/lb/°R

s2 - s1 = Cp*ln(T2/T1)


Thermodynamics, polytropic process, entropy change

Cv = specific heat at constant volume, Btu/lb/°F
k = adiabatic exponent for gas
n = polytropic constant for gas
s = entropy, Btu/lb/°R
T = absolute temperature, °R

s2 - s1 = Cv*((n-k)/(n-1))*ln(T2/T1)

They're imported across DDE from COREL WordPerfect 8.0
I can PM them to you if you'd like to use them.

depletion percentages

Unread postby Sololeum » Wed 09 Mar 2005, 18:28:09

When looking at the drastic figures of depletion rates for oil wells in over 600 metres of sea water - I began to wonder when people talk of percentage depletion, ie. 2.5% for the USA since 1973 etc. is it based on the peak flow rate or the annual flow rate -

Based on Peak Flow would give a steeper decline that that based on annual flows.

Can anyone help.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.
