Open-Source Thermodynamic Cycle Simulator: Interactive Analysis and Optimization

POSTER

Abstract

Presentation of a cycle simulator with an intuitive user interface. Designed with simplicity in mind, this tool allows users to easily simulate and analyze both individual machinery components and complete thermodynamic cycles. The simulator provides detailed insights into thermodynamic properties and efficiency metrics, making it an exceptional educational resource for students. Its straightforward interface and flexible configuration support comprehensive learning and experimentation, whether examining components in isolation or as part of an integrated system. This tool is particularly offers a simple yet powerful way to explore and optimize thermodynamic processes.
