ABSTRACT: Hydraulic Air Compressor (HAC) is a device which converts hydraulic energy to energy of compressed air. A better exploitation of this hydraulic resource is currently investigated. The aim of ...

University College, The Pennsylvania State University, York, PA, USA. Because of the essential conceptual and practical importance of the Carnot heat engine [1] that is conducive to introducing ...

Abstract: A numerical analysis of a quasi-isothermal thermodynamic cycle was undertaken for its application in an underwater energy storage system. The conceptual basis for the quasi-isothermal ...

The compression or expansion of a gas can take place without heat exchange or, on the contrary, with cooling or reheating, which corresponds to two theoretical extreme cases: reversible, i.e.
