Thermodynamic systems analysis—I. A graph-theoretic approach

M. Chandrashekar and F.C. Wong

Energy, 1982, vol. 7, issue 6, 539-566

Abstract: An analysis of thermodynamic systems using the porcess graph model is presented in this paper. The process graph model is a linear-graph representation of systems undergoing thermodynamic processes. It provides a concise model of the interconnections and interaction interfaces of a thermodynamic system with respect to all types of flows. The analysis procedure accounts for all types of work, heat flow, and their interactions in a unified manner. The modelling and analysis procedures are illustrated by examples.
