It also contains small quantities of Ethane and Propane. It is liquefied by compression. CNG is used as a fuel in automobiles, houses and factories. It is also used… Read More: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) | Composition, Advantages, Disadvantages »
Everything around us constantly emits radiation and emission characteristics of a body is represented by emissivity. This means that every body, including our own, is constantly bombarded by radiation coming from all directions over a range of wavelengths. Coming directly to our topic let us discuss different terms related to radiation. Irradiation Definition of irradiation.… Read More: Absorptivity, Reflectivity and Transmissivity »

Pure Substance Let we first go through the definition of pure substance to understand its meaning. “A pure substance is defined as one that is homogeneous and invariable in chemical composition throughout its mass” To understand the definition… Read More: Definition of Pure Substance and Two property Rule in Thermodynamics »
We all know any thermodynamic power cycle depends on a working fluid for the transfer of heat from the source to the point where it is converted to some useful work. Picking a working fluid for any vapour power cycle is not a random decision, as in case of any malfunction, it can be dangerous… Read More: Characteristics of Ideal Working Fluid in Vapour Power Cycle »
Path function A Path function is a function whose value depends on the path followed by the thermodynamic process irrespective of the initial and final states of the process. An example of path function is the work done in a thermodynamic process. Work done in a thermodynamic process is dependent on the path followed by… Read More: Path Function & Point Function | Explained With Examples »
