What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
describe basic concepts of thermodynamics, quantitative relations of Zeroth, first, second and third laws
define and explain system, surrounding, closed and open system, control volume and control mass, extensive and intensive properties
calculate absolute and gage pressure, and absolute temperature, calculate changes in kinetic, potential, enthalpy and internal energy
evaluate the properties of pure substances i.e. evaluate the state of the pure substances such as compressed liquid, saturated liquid-vapour mixture and superheated vapour using property diagrams and tables; arrange the ideal and real gas e
formulate the first law of thermodynamics for a closed system i.e. organize the change in energy in the closed systems via heat and work transfer
distinguish heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation, and calculate the amount of heat energy transferred
calculate the changes in moving boundary work, spring work, electrical work and shaft work in closed systems
apply the first law of thermodynamics for closed systems and construct conservation of mass and energy equations
Course contents
Basic concepts, definitions and laws (quantitative relations of Zeroth, first, second and third laws of thermodynamics). Properties of pure substances: the two-property rule (P-V-T behaviour of pure substances and perfect gases); state diagrams. The principle of corresponding state; compressibility relations; reduced pressure; reduced volume; temperature; pseudo-critical constants. The ideal gas: specific heat, polytropic processes. Ideal gas cycles; Carnot; thermodynamic cycles, turbines, steam and gas, refrigeration. The first law of thermodynamics – heat and work, applications to open and closed systems. The steady flow energy equation (Bernoulli’s equation) and application. Second law of thermodynamics, heat cycles and efficiencies.
