OBJECTIVE:
To achieve an understanding of principles of thermodynamics and to be able to use it in accounting
for the bulk behavior of the simple physical systems, to provide in-depth study of thermodynamic
principles, thermodynamics of state, basic thermodynamic relations, principles of psychrometry and
properties of pure substances, to enlighten the basic concepts of vapour power cycles.
Unit 1 BASIC CONCEPTS AND FIRST LAW OF Total Hrs 9+3
THERMODYNAMICS
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.

Second law of thermodynamics – Kelvin-Planck and Clausius statements of second law, Reversibility and
irreversibility. Carnot theorem, Carnot cycle, reversed Carnot cycle, efficiency, Coefficient of Performance
(COP). Thermodynamic temperature scale, Clausius inequality, concept of entropy, entropy of ideal gas,
principle of increase of entropy – vailability (Elementary treatment only).
Unit 3 PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCE Total Hrs 9+3
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.
Unit 4 IDEAL AND REAL GASES AND THERMODYNAMIC Total Hrs 9+3
RELATIONS
Properties of ideal and real gases, equation of state, Avogadro’s Law, Van der Waals equation of state,
compressibility factor, Exact differentials. Thermodynamic relations, Maxwell relations, Clausius -
Clapeyron equations, relations for changes in Entropy, Enthalpy & Internal Energy, Joule-Thomson
coefficient & inversion curve.
Unit 5 PROPERTIES OF MIXTURES Total Hrs 9+3
Ideal gas mixtures – Evaluation of properties, Dalton’s law of partial pressure, properties of air-water
vapour mixtures: DBT, WBT, RH, dew point temperature, degree of saturation, thermodynamic wet bulb
temperature, enthalpy of moist air, sensible heating and cooling, bypass factor, calculations using
