Different values by sweeping variables at the parametric table of EES and by running them singularly at the main command window?

Sometimes when I run parametric table of EES (sweep a variable) I have get unstable answer at some rages. For example for 0, 1, 2, 3 I get 10, 0.005, 9.5, 0.00000014 But when I don't use...

Physics: Why do we describe light by referring to its wavelength, but microwaves and radar pulses by referring to their frequency?

In physics, the description of the properties of light generally refers to its wavelength (nm), while in the range of microwaves and radio waves we refer to the frequency of a signal (e.g. kHz or...

Thanks,

You used a method that is exists in Bejan's book.

I want more general definition and I don't want any simplification like idea gas assumption.

I attached what is in my mind but I think something is wrong with it....

Does anyone has an idea?

I consider water at 25C and 1atm as dead state

Saad Najeeb

Thank you.

Should I define several dead state conditions for multi-component systems? In that case, can I do thermo-economic analysis?

Good article
