Introduction to Applied Thermodynamics Course
This course provides a comprehensive study of the principles and applications of thermodynamics in engineering systems. It builds upon the fundamentals of classical thermodynamics and focuses on their practical use in analyzing and designing real-world energy systems. The course emphasizes the application of the laws of thermodynamics, the properties of pure substances, and the concepts of energy, work, and heat transfer to practical devices and processes.
Key topics include the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, thermodynamic cycles (such as Rankine, Otto, Diesel, Brayton, and refrigeration cycles), entropy and exergy analysis, psychrometrics, and the performance evaluation of power generation, refrigeration, and air-conditioning systems. Students will also explore energy conversion technologies and efficiency improvement methods relevant to modern engineering challenges.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
-
Apply thermodynamic principles to analyze and solve engineering problems.
-
Evaluate the performance of thermodynamic systems such as engines, compressors, turbines, and heat exchangers.
-
Understand the limitations of energy conversion processes using entropy and exergy concepts.
-
Relate thermodynamics to sustainable energy technologies and real-life engineering applications.
This course is essential for students in mechanical, electrical, and energy engineering, providing the foundation for advanced studies in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and energy systems design.
