Thermodynamics
Course
Objective:
To
impart fundamental knowledge of thermodynamic laws, properties of pure
substances and gas mixtures for engineering applications.
Fundamentals
of Thermodynamics, First Law: Thermodynamic systems,
properties, equilibrium, Zeroth law, temperature scales, and energy
interactions - First law for closed/open systems, steady/unsteady flow
processes, and applications to turbines, compressors, and nozzles.
Activity:
Problem-solving assignment on First Law applications
Second
Law, Entropy, Availability: Heat engines,
refrigerators, Carnot cycles, and Second Law statements – Entropy (T–s diagram;
Tds equations), irreversibility, availability, and second law efficiency with
engineering applications.
Activity:
Case study on power plant efficiency
Properties
of Pure Substances, Gas Mixtures: Steam properties,
thermodynamic diagrams, steam tables, and Mollier chart applications.
Ideal/real gases, equations of state, compressibility, and corresponding
states.
Activity:
Numerical exercise using Steam Tables/Mollier chart
Thermodynamic
Relations, Applications: Maxwell relations, TdS
equations, Joule–Thomson effect, and Clausius–Clapeyron relation - Applications
in power plants, refrigeration, exergy analysis, and energy audit concepts.
Activity:
Seminar on exergy analysis of a simple thermal system
