Aeronautics is the study of the science of flight. Aeronautics is the method of designing an airplane or other flying machine. There are four basic areas that aeronautical engineers must understand in order to be able to design planes. To design a plane, engineers must understand all of these elements.
Ch 6, Lesson B, Page 3 - Review: Types of Thermodynamic Cycles. 1  Whatâs going on inside the system depends on the purpose of the cycle. 2  You probably recall the three types of cycles from Lesson 4F, but it has been a while. 3  The three types of thermodynamic cycles are: power cycles, refrigeration cycles and heat pump cycles.
Thermodynamics. ( 1 on a macroscopic scale) a function of thermodynamic variables, as temperature, pressure, or composition, that is a measure of the energy that is not available for work during a thermodynamic process. A closed system evolves toward a state of maximum entropy.
