    Should the air specific heat ratio be included in the ideal gas law ?

    As you can see, both equations use the ideal gas low with the universal gas constant in J/kg.k Both equations are used in published articles as follows: "Application of dynamic programming to the optimal management of a hybrid power plant with wind turbines, photovoltaic panels and compressed...

    Can the air pressure in tank be higher than the compressor outlet pressure?

    I am trying to simulate the performance of a compressed air energy storage system. I have modeled the compressor using the following equation The compressed air pressure in the tank is changing according to the following equation The outlet pressure of the compressor is 15 bar and the...

    Energy contained in compressed air

    Hello all, For a vessel with a constant volume of 8 m^3 with a 15 bar pressurized air in it. What is the contained energy in the vessel?? If the pressure changes from 15 bar to 7 bar or to 20 bar; how much energy does the vessel lose or gain ? Assuming isentropic processes with n or k = 1.4 I...

    Isothermal and adiabatic air compression different expressions

    For an Isothermal compression process of air in a vessel with constant volume, I found the following expressions Two of them give the same exact answer while the third one gives a different answer I don't know why. For adiabatic air compression, I found these two expressions which give...

    Design compressed air energy storage for PV plant

    Hi All For a PV project of 5 kW, we will use a CAES. The preliminary design will consist of a compressor - 2 heat exchanger - Air receiver - air motor - generator - 2 water tanks as a thermal storage units to have an adiabatic systems. For a 5 kW PV plant, an energy of 20 to 26 kWh is expected...
