Rajput’s latest book on Written by a highly experienced and gifted teacher of our pace-setting Polytechnic, this book deals with Thermodynamics and Heat Engines besides having an additional chapter on Non-Conventional Power Generation. I have no doubt that it will prove extremely useful for students of engineering institutions in our country. Among the several distinctive features of this book, special mention may be made of the following : development of the subject in a logical and coherent manner, neat and simple diagrams to explain the text, large number of worked examples as well as unsolved examples for practice, numerous objective-type questions and the consistent use of SI units. As is well known to his peers, the author of this volume has written a number of popular books earlier on various engineering subjects for the benefit of students in Polytech- nics and Engineering Colleges. As is to be expected, a great deal of systematic and meticulous work has gone into the writing of this book. I wish the author and his book all success. Professor Dr. 'T.R. ANANTHARAMAN Director, Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology & Thapar Corporate Research & Development Centre PATIALA-147 001 Preface to The Eighth Edition 1am pleased to present the Eighth Edition (Two Colours) of this standard treatise. The warm reception which the previous editions and reprints of this book have enjoyed all over India and abroad, has been a matter of great satisfaction to me. ‘The entire book has been thoroughly revised ; besides adding a large number of “Additional/Typical Worked Examples” jn various chapters. It is hoped that the book in this comprehensive and complete form will prove to be of immense use for the students preparing various ‘Universities’ and Competitive Examinations (eg., UPSC, GATE ete.) The author's thanks are due to his wife Ramesh Rajput for extending all cooperation during preparation and proof reading of this revised manuscript. Any suggestions for the improvement of this book will be thankfully acknowledged and incorporated in the next edition. —Author Preface to The First Edition On the subject of“Thermal Engineering” several books are available in the market but most of them either lack in proper subject treatment or the solved examples are small in number and their solutions are too difficult to understand. The purpose of writing this book is to bridge these gaps and to present such a book to the students which should be easy to understand and assimilate comprehensive treatment of the subject matter in simple, lucid and direct language. The book comprises of 26 Chapters, dealing with ‘Thermodynami and ‘Non-Conventional Power Generation’. Each chapter contains adequate text supported by simple and self explanatory figures, large number of Worked Examples both in SI and MKS units, Highlights, Theoretical Questions and several Unsolved Examples. The book wijl prove to be of great help to the students preparing for engineering degree, AM.LE. (India), diploma and other competitive examinations. The author's grateful thanks are due to Smt. Ramesh Rajput (wife) for extending full co-operation during the preparation of the manuscript. The author is also thankful to Mr. Rakesh Syal for drawing neat diagrams for this book. In the end, the author wishes to express his grateful thanks to M/s Laxmi Publications for taking extra pains in printing the book at a rapid pace and very systematically. Although every care has been taken to make the book free of errors both in text as well as in solved examples, yet the author shall feel obliged if errors present are brought to his notice. Constructive criticism of the book will be warmly received. ’, Heat Engines’ —Author Introduction to SI Units and Conversion Factors 7.4) INTRODUCTION TO SI UNITS SI, the international system of units are divided into three classes : 1. Base units 2. Derived units 3. Supplementary units. From the scientific point of view division of SI units into these classes is to a certain extent arbitrary, because it is not essential to the physics of the subject. Nevertheless the General Confer- ence, considering the advantages of a single, practical, world-wide system for international rela- tions, for teaching and for scientific work, decided to base the international system on a choice of six well-defined units given in Table 1 below : Table 1. SI Base Units Quantity ‘Name Symbol length metre m mass kilogram kg : | electric current ampere A thermodynamic temperature kelvin K luminous intensity candela ed amount of substance mole mol The second class of SI units contains derived units, .e., units which can be formed by combin- ing base units according to the algebraic relations linking the corresponding quantities. Several of these algebraic expressions in terms of base units can be replaced by special names and symbols can themselves be used to form other derived units. Derived units may, therefore, be classified under three headings. Some of them are given in Tables 2, 3 and 4. (xxiii) Table 2.

[Eegfermonucrion TO KINETIC THEORY OF GASES The kinetic theory of gases deals with the behaviour of molecules constituting the gas. According to this theory, the molecules of all gases are in continuous motion. As a result of this they possess kinetic energy which is transferred from molecule to molecule during their collision. The energy s0 transferred produces a change in the velocity of individual molecules. ‘The complete phenomenon of molecular behaviour is quite complex. The assumptions are therefore made to simplify the application of theory of an ideal gas. Assumptions : . The molecules of gases are assumed to be rigid, perfectly elastic solid spheres, identical in all respects such as mass, form etc. The mean distance between molecules is very large compared to their own dimensions. The molecules are in state of random motion moving in all directions with all possible velocities and gas is said to be in state of molecular chaos. 4. The collisions between the molecules are perfectly elastic and there are no intermolecular forces of attraction or repulsion. This means that energy of gas is all kinetic. The number of molecules in a small volume is very large. The time spent in collision is negligible, compared to the time during which the molecules are moving independently. 7. Between collisions, the molecules move in a straight line with uniform velocity because of frictionless motion between molecules. The distance between two collisions is called free path’ of the molecule, the average distance travelled by a molecule between successive collision is known as ‘mean free path’. 8. The volume of molecule is so small that it is negligible compared to total volume of the gas. 1 = Pr
