Objectives and Outcomes

Objectives

  • To familiarize the students with the application of various law of thermodynamics
  • To study the application of heat and work transfer processes in the energy extraction efficiencies using air standard cycles.

Course Outcomes

  • CO1: Understand the law of thermodynamics and various forms of work and energy that can occur
  • CO2: Analyze the work and heat interactions associated with a prescribed process path, and to perform a first law analysis of a flow system
  • CO3: Apply the understandings of phase change process of pure substances to the flow and non-flow process devices
  • CO4: Apply second law of thermodynamics and entropy concepts in analyzing the thermal efficiencies of heat engines and determine the reversibility or irreversibility of a process using change in entropy
  • CO5: Apply ideal cycle analysis to simple heat engine cycles to estimate thermal efficiency and work as a function of pressures and temperatures at various points in the cycle.
