Ericsson Cycle

Ericsson Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle which consists of constant pressure heat addition and rejection. The Ericsson Cycle is named after its Swedish inventor John Ericsson. It is a thermodynamic cycle upon which an Ericsson Engine works. Ericsson Engine is an external combustion engine. This engine works on either air or any other monophasic gas. Ericsson Cycle with ideal components can reach the thermal efficiency of the Carnot cycle.

Working principle of Ericsson engine

The working principle of the Ericsson Engine is based on this Ericsson Cycle. In Ericsson cycle heat is added and rejected at constant pressure. Also, compression and extension will take place at a constant temperature. Ericsson Cycle consists of a regenerator and a heat exchanger. A regenerator is used to add and remove heat from the working fluid.

How to Calculate Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle?

Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle calculator uses Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle = (Higher Temperature-Lower Temperature)/(Higher Temperature) to calculate the Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle, Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle is identical to the Carnot Cycle efficiency. In other words, it achieves the maximum theoretical effectiveness for a heat engine following Ericsson cycle operating between two given temperature reservoirs. It is important to note that the Ericsson and Carnot cycles consist of only reversible processes (isothermal and isobaric) which means they can be run in reverse without violating the laws of thermodynamics. Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle is denoted by η_e symbol.

How to calculate Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle, enter Higher Temperature (T_H) & Lower Temperature (T_L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.52 = (250-120)/(250).

FAQ

What is Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle?

Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle is identical to the Carnot Cycle efficiency. In other words, it achieves the maximum theoretical effectiveness for a heat engine following Ericsson cycle operating between two given temperature reservoirs. It is important to note that the Ericsson and Carnot cycles consist of only reversible processes (isothermal and isobaric) which means they can be run in reverse without violating the laws of thermodynamics and is represented as η_e = (T_H-T_L)/(T_H) or Thermal Efficiency of Ericsson Cycle = (Higher Temperature-Lower Temperature)/(Higher Temperature). Higher Temperature is the temperature of hot reservoir. It's the entity from which the engine absorbs thermal energy to perform work. It is measured in absolute temperature (Kelvin-scale) & Lower Temperature is the temperature of heat sink. It is where the engine rejects waste heat that cannot be converted into work. It is measured in absolute temperature (Kelvin-scale).
