III

Basic Concepts & Laws of Thermodynamics

Basic concepts: Property, Equilibrium, State, Process, Cycle, Zeroth law of thermodynamics, Heat and work transfer. First law of thermodynamics- first law applied to various systems steady flow process, limitations of first law of thermodynamics. Second law of thermodynamics, heat engine, heat reservoir, Refrigerator, heat pump, Carnot's cycle, statements of second law Reversible and irreversible processes, consequence of second law, Clausious Inequality , Entropy, T-S diagrams, Available & Unavailable energy Availability Concept.

Properties of Steam

Pure Substance, Phase, Phase-transformations, formation of steam, properties of steam, PVT surface, HS,TS,PV,PH,TV diagram, processes of vapor measurement of dryness fraction, Use of steam tables and Mollier chart.

Air standard cycles

Carnot, Otto, Diesel, Dual cycles and their comparison, Brayton cycle, Non reactive gas mixture, PVT relationship, mixture of ideal gases, properties of mixture of ideal gases, internal energy, Enthalpy and specific heat of gas mixtures.

Fuels & combustion

Actual & theoretical Combustion processes, Enthalpy of formation & enthalpy of reaction, first law analysis of reacting systems, Adiabatic flame temperature, Basic concept of Third Law of thermodynamics.

Course Objective

To develop ability and gain insight into the process of problem-solving, with emphasis on thermodynamics

Course Outcome

["find values of thermodynamic properties in tables", "draw thermodynamic processes on pressure-temperature, pressure-volume, or temperature-volume diagrams", "use compressibility charts", "calculate expansion or compression work in a closed system", "use conservation of mass to determine the change in mass of a system"]
