Course Objectives: | This course aims at teaching the students basic definitions regarding energy such as temperature, heat, work, enthalpy and entropy. Phases of pure substances and use of data tables will also be studied. Open and closed system analyses will help the students calculate the energy output or consumption of commonly used systems such as turbines or refrigerators. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Describe basic thermodynamics concepts such as system, process, state, temperature, pressure II. Define the zeroth, first, second and third laws of thermodynamics III. Differentiate between different forms of energy such as internal energy, enthalpy, heat and work IV. Calculate thermodynamics properties of pure substances using data tables V. Apply different equations of state to solve engineering problems VI. Analyse the energy balances of closed systems VII. Analyse the mass and energy balances of open systems VIII. Explain the individual processes taking place in heat engines and refrigeration cycles IX. Define the concept of entropy and exergy |
