Machines may be just mechanical (pulley- and-belt), hydraulic (water wheel, the earliest engine), pneumatic (windmill), electrical (electric motor, the most common nowadays), chemical (fuel cell), or thermal. We restrict the name 'thermal machines' to devices that converts heat to work (heat engine), and to devices that pump low-temperature energy to high-temperature energy (by using some source of exergy), all working cyclically. The heat pumping machine may be intended to produce cold (refrigerator), or to produce heat (heat pump), or both at the same time (refrigerator with heat recovery, or heat pump). We do not include in this definition a simple thermal component as a compressor or turbine, in spite of the fact that it is a machine and it encompasses thermal processes. Notice also that Engine Thermodynamics is a wider subject than Heat-Engine Thermodynamics; e.g. fuel cells are not heat engines but electrochemical engines, and internal combustion engines are really thermochemical engines, their study requiring Chemical Thermodynamics; in the strict sense, only steam engines (and Stirling engines and the like) are heat engines. We present in this chapter the thermodynamics of heat engines, and leave the thermodynamics of refrigerators and heat pumps for the next chapter. A broader perspective of power generation can be found under Thermal Systems. Moreover, thermoelectric generators, which are heat engines based on Seebeck effect, are not covered here.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
