    Abstract: Receipt of heat in a thermodynamic system is defined by a Pfaffian form. For the heat-insulated systems it is equal to zero. Cooling of such system as a result of cyclic change of external parameters is usually considered to be impossible. It is offered to carry out full transformation of heat of the environment to work by means of thermally hetero... Show More

    Abstract: On the basis of energodynamics as a unified theory of nonequilibrium processes of energy transfer and transformation, a theory of similarity of such processes is proposed. It includes dimensionless criteria of efficiency, constructive perfection and load of power plants and the criterial equations connecting these indicators. On its basis, universa... Show More
