Course Details
• First Law of Thermodynamics: Introduction to the concept of energy, its conservation, and the first law of thermodynamics. Understanding the internal energy of a system, heat transfer, and work done.
• Second Law of Thermodynamics: Understanding entropy, its definition, and the second law of thermodynamics. The concept of irreversibility and the Clausius inequality.
• Thermodynamic Properties: Study of thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, volume, and entropy. Their interrelationships and how to measure them.
• Gas Laws and Ideal Gases: Overview of gas laws, including Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay-Lussac's laws, and their application to the ideal gas equation.
• Real Gases and P-V-T Behavior: Study of real gases and their deviation from ideal gas behavior. Examination of P-V-T diagrams and equations of state.
• Thermodynamic Cycles: Analysis of thermodynamic cycles such as the Carnot cycle, Rankine cycle, and Brayton cycle. Understanding their efficiency and application in engineering systems.
• Heat Transfer: Introduction to heat transfer methods, including conduction, convection, and radiation. Analysis of heat transfer coefficients and their application in engineering systems.
• Applications of Thermodynamics: Application of thermodynamics in real-world engineering systems such as power plants, refrigeration systems, and internal combustion engines.
