Is heat rejection the same as heat dissipation?
No, heat rejection and heat dissipation are not the same. Heat rejection refers to the process of transferring heat from one place to another, such as releasing heat from a system into the surroundings. Heat dissipation, on the other hand, is the dispersion of heat within a system to lower its temperature.
What three processes occur in every heat engine?
1. a high temperature source is used to remove thermal energy from 2. a low temperature receptacle is where the thermal energy can be received 3. thermal energy is converted to work I'm only a high school Advanced Physics student, but I'm almost certain this is right.
Why is there heat rejection in a thermodynamic process?
In a practical heat engine, heat is generated by burning a fuel, work is extracted from this heat resulting in the working fluid cooling, and heat is then rejected at the lower temperature. As you must know, in an internal combustion engine heat is rejected both in the engine cooling system and the exhaust. In a power plant, using water/steam as the working fluid in a closed cycle, there are four phases in the cycle: 1. Water is pumped at high pressure into a steam raising unit (boiler) 2. Heat from the fuel, be it coal, oil, gas, or nuclear, is added to the water causing it to become steam 3. the steam is expanded through a turbine doing work, that is driving the generator 4. the steam is condensed back to water using external cooling water. This is called the Rankine cycle. At stage 4 heat is being rejected into the external cooling water, and this heat is lost. It is minimised by running the condenser under vacuum so that steam at less than 100 celsius can still do work, and the final turbine discharge temperature is as low as 30C. Theoretically the efficiency of such a cycle is maximised by making the steam to the turbine as hot as material constraints allows, and the condenser vacuum as low as the local cooling water temperature will allow. The maximum practical efficiency of such a plant is about 42 percent, meaning that 58 percent of the heat from the fuel is rejected. For a PWR nuclear plant the steam temperature is much lower and the cycle efficiency is less, more like 30 percent. I hope this enables you to see why in a practical heat engine there must be heat rejection. There are several entries in Wikipedia for further reading, see 'Heat Engines' first.
What is the minimum number of stages that a steady state thermodynamic heat engine or heat pump can have?
If it only has 2 stages it really isn't an engine. It is possible to describe a heat engine/heat pump with 3 stages, but calculating the changes in thermodynamic properties, work, and heat in each stage can be difficult with only 3 stages. It is also extremely difficult to build an actual pump or engine that only uses 3 stages - you always seem to wind up with one that really has 4 stages with one of them being a very short stage between 2 of the 3 you meant to have. For all practical purposes, you will have at least 4 stages in a heat engine or heat pump.
What is the significance of the Rankine cycle in thermodynamics and how does its PV diagram illustrate the energy conversion process within a power plant?
The Rankine cycle is important in thermodynamics because it is a theoretical model that represents the ideal process for converting heat into mechanical work in a power plant. The PV diagram of the Rankine cycle shows the stages of this energy conversion process, including heat input, expansion, heat rejection, and compression. By analyzing the PV diagram, engineers can optimize the efficiency of power plants by understanding how energy is transferred and transformed throughout the cycle.
Is heat rejection the same as heat dissipation?
No, heat rejection and heat dissipation are not the same. Heat rejection refers to the process of transferring heat from one place to another, such as releasing heat from a system into the surroundings. Heat dissipation, on the other hand, is the dispersion of heat within a system to lower its temperature.
What is the formula for heat rejection rate?
Heat Rejection = mass x specific weight x specific density x difference in temp
Difference between heat rejection and heat absoarb in refrigerator?
Heat is absorbed by the refrigerant liquid inside the fridge, and rejected by the heat exchanger on the back of it.
What is main the function of condenser?

What is one main function of the condenser?
heat rejection through converctional or static means.(fan or air cooled condenser)
