How to Calculate Expansion Work?
Expansion Work calculator uses Work Done per min = Mass of Air*Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(Temperature at the end of cooling process-Actual temperature at end of isentropic expansion) to calculate the Work Done per min, The Expansion Work formula is defined as the product of the mass of air, constant pressure specific heat capacity, and difference of actual temperature at the end of the isentropic expansion and cooling process. Work Done per min is denoted by Wper min symbol.
How to calculate Expansion Work using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Expansion Work, enter Mass of Air (ma), Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure (Cp), Temperature at the end of cooling process (T4) & Actual temperature at end of isentropic expansion (T5') and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Expansion Work calculation can be explained with given input values -> 868.32 = 2*1005*(385-265).
