II. Syllabus
Introduction: Overview of the course. Examination and Evaluation
patterns. Scope and applications of thermodynamics.
Fundamental Concepts and Definitions: Concept of continuum,
microscopic and macroscopic approach, system, control volume,
dimensions and units, force, weight, State, path, process, isolated
system, adiabatic system, thermodynamic equilibrium, thermodynamic
definition of work, different forms of work, path function, Heat,
temperature and zeroth law of thermodynamics, thermometry.
First Law of Thermodynamics: First law applied to a system undergoing
a cyclic process and a change of state, concept of energy, nature of
energy, pure substance, two property rule. First law applied to a
control volume, general energy equation, steady flow energy equation
on unit mass and time basis, application of SFEE for devices such as
boiler, turbine, heat exchangers, pumps, nozzles, etc.
Second Law of Thermodynamics: Limitations of the first law,
definition of a heat engine, heat pump, refrigerator, thermal
efficiency and the coefficient of performance. Kelvin-Planck and
Clausius statements of the second law, their equivalence, reversible
heat engine, Carnot theorems and corollaries. Reversible process,
irreversible process, factors responsible for making a process
irreversible. Carnot cycle, thermodynamic temperature scale.
Entropy, Clausius theorem, Clausius inequality, Principle of
increase of entropy, available and unavailable energy,
irreversibility.
Third law of thermodynamics, absolute entropy Ideal Gas and Real
Gas: Ideal gas, relation among the specific heats, internal energy,
enthalpy. Analysis of isochoric, isobaric, isothermal, isentropic,
isenthalpic processes, representation of the above processes on P-
v, T-s planes. Determination of work, heat, entropy and enthalpy
changes during the above processes, problems. Characteristic gas
equations of a real gas, virial coefficients, law of corresponding
states, compressibility factor, generalized compressibility chart,
problems Ideal Gas Mixtures: Gravimetric and volumetric analysis,
Dalton’s law, Amagat’s law, mole fraction, volume fraction,
evaluation of properties of gas mixtures, adiabatic mixing of gases
at different temperatures and pressures, non-adiabatic mixing,
mixing of gases in steady flow.
Pure Substance: Behavior of pure substance (steam) with reference to
T-v, P-T, P-V, P-h & T-s diagrams, Triple and critical points,
properties of steam, Quality of steam, its determination using
throttling and separating-throttling calorimeters. Steam processes;
expressions for the change in internal energy, enthalpy, work, heat,
entropy in various processes, Mollier chart, Carnot cycle, Rankine
cycle, modified Rankine cycle.
Air Standard Cycles: Assumptions for air standard cycles, Analysis
of Otto, Diesel, Dual combustion, Joule/Brayton cycles
