Q_in = m*(u2 - u1) "W=0" Cengel use: Often for ideal gas (( Pv = RT )) or phase change (but constant T in two-phase region implies constant P).
P1 = 3 [MPa] T1 = 400 [C] P2 = 50 [kPa] Fluid$ = 'Steam' s1 = entropy(Fluid$, P=P1, T=T1) h1 = enthalpy(Fluid$, P=P1, T=T1)

"Actual (given efficiency η=0.85)" η = 0.85 η = (h1 - h2a)/(h1 - h2s) h2a = h1 - η*(h1 - h2s) W_a = h1 - h2a EES replaces table lookup:
v2 = v1 "Final pressure given" P2 = 500 [kPa] T2 = temperature(Fluid$, P=P2, v=v2) u2 = intEnergy(Fluid$, P=P2, v=v2)
"1st law for ideal gas isothermal: Δu=0" Q_in = W_b Most powerful in EES – just set ( s_2 = s_1 ) and EES finds the rest. Q_in = m*(u2 - u1) "W=0" Cengel use:
"Given" P1 = 100 [kPa] T1 = 300 [K] P2 = 1000 [kPa] Fluid$ = 'Air' "EES treats as ideal gas with var cp" s1 = entropy(Fluid$, P=P1, T=T1) "Isentropic" s2 = s1 T2 = temperature(Fluid$, P=P2, s=s2) h1 = enthalpy(Fluid$, T=T1) h2 = enthalpy(Fluid$, T=T2)
EES is case-insensitive but uses ^ for power. 3. Implementing Iso-Processes in EES a) Isobaric (( P = constant )) Cengel rule: ( P_1 = P_2 ), ( Q - W_b = \Delta H ) (for closed system, often ( W_b = P\Delta V )).
"Steady-flow compressor work" w_comp_in = h2 - h1 "kJ/kg" s=s2) T2s = temperature(Fluid$
"Isentropic expansion" s2 = s1 h2s = enthalpy(Fluid$, P=P2, s=s2) T2s = temperature(Fluid$, P=P2, s=s2) x2s = quality(Fluid$, P=P2, s=s2) "If in two-phase"
This is a specialized guide focused on using specifically for the Thermodynamics problem style found in Cengel’s textbooks (e.g., Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach ), with emphasis on Iso (Isentropic, Isothermal, Isobaric, Isochoric) processes.
