Organized by textbook: learncheme.com Demonstrates how to use an interactive simulation that compares two adiabatic compressors or turbines with different efficiencies. Air, which is assumed to be an ideal gas, is either compressed or expanded. Select whether to compare at the same outlet pressure or temperature. The efficiency is relative to a reversible turbine or compressor. This simulation is located at learncheme.com/simulations/thermodynamics/thermo-1/compare-compressors-turbines-different-efficiencies
