AIM: Simulation of the transient behaviour of a simple pendulum and creating an animation of its motion GOVERNING EQUATION: A simple pendulum consists of a mass m hanging from a string of length L and fixed at a pivot point P. When displaced to an initial angle and released, the pendulum will swing…

AIM: RANKINE CYCLE SIMULATION THEORY: The Rankine cycle or Rankine Vapor Cycle is the process widely used by power plants such as coal-fired power plants or nuclear reactors. In this mechanism, a fuel is used to produce heat within a boiler, converting water into steam which then expands through a turbine producing…

AIM: Parsing NASA thermodynamic data THEORY: File parsing is basically conversion or extraction of data from raw format(text file). It is the process of analyzing a string of symbols, either in natural language, computer languages or data structures. For programming, this means to convert information represented in one…

AIM:  Plotting P-V diagram and efficiency calculation of Otto Cycle.   GOVERNING EQUATIONS: Otto cycle is a gas power cycle that is used in spark-ignition internal combustion engine (modern petrol engines). It is an air standard cycle which approximates the processes in petrol or diesel…
