Type of article: Article

Summary

A CRITERION IS DERIVED AND TESTED FOR DETERMINING WHETHER THE ISENTROPIC COMPRESSION OF SATURATED VAPOURS LEADS TO SUPERHEAT OR CONDENSATION. THIS CRITERION NEEDS ONLY VALUES OF THE CRITICAL TEMPERATURE, THE ACENTRIC FACTOR AND THE LIQUID SPECIFIC HEAT. THE APPLICATION OF THE CRITERION FOR SELECTION OF A WORKING FLUID BOTH FOR HEAT PUMPS AND HEAT ENGINES IS DISCUSSED.
