ME9202 ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS 

1. BASIC CONCEPT AND FIRST LAW

Basic concepts - concept of continuum, macroscopic approach, thermodynamic systems - closed, open and isolated. Property, state, path and process, quasi-static process, work, modes of work, Zeroth law of thermodynamics – concept of temperature and heat. Concept of ideal and real gases. First law of thermodynamics – application to closed and open systems, internal energy, specific heat capacities,

enthalpy, steady flow process with reference to various thermal equipments.

2. SECOND LAW AND ENTROPY

Second law of thermodynamics – Kelvin’s and Clausius statements of second law. Reversibility and irreversibility. Carnot theorem, Carnot cycle, reversed carnot cycle, efficiency, COP. Thermodynamic temperature scale, Clausius inequality, concept of entropy, entropy of ideal gas, principle of increase of entropy.

3. THERMODYNAMIC AVAILABILITY

Basics – Energy in non-flow processes : Expressions for the Exergy of a closed system-Equivalence between mechanical energy forms and Exergy – Flow of energy associated with heat flow – Exergy consumption and entropy generation. Exergy in steady flow processes : Expressions for Exergy in steady flow processes – Exergy dissipation and entropy generation.

4. PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCE AND STEAM POWER CYCLE

Properties of pure substances – Thermodynamic properties of pure substances in solid, liquid and vapour phases, phase rule, P-V, P-T, T-V, T-S, H-S diagrams, PVT surfaces, thermodynamic properties of steam. Calculations of work done and heat transfer in non-flow and flow processes. Standard Rankine cycle, Reheat and regenerative cycle.

5. PSYCHROMETRY

Psychrometry and psychrometric charts, property calculations of air vapour mixtures. Psychrometric process – Sensible heat exchange processes. Latent heat exchange processes. Adiabatic mixing, evaporative cooling, problems.
