Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Dr. M. S. Chong
Prerequisite: Level 1 Mathematics
Contact: 23 hours of lectures and 16 hours of tutorials and laboratory
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
Upon completion students should have developed an understanding of the laws of thermodynamics and physical thermodynamic property relationships, and the ability to apply these principles to engineering systems, including:
- the ability to apply the first law of thermodynamics to non-flow and steady flow processes
- understand the second law of thermodynamics and the limitations to thermodynamic processes
- formulate equations for process performance and cycle efficiency.
- carry out combustion analysis
Content:
Heat and work, ideal non-flow and flow processes. Laws of thermodynamics, Carnot's principle, Clausius inequality, direct and reversed heat engines, thermal and isentropic efficiencies. Properties of pure substances, change of phase. Representation of properties, steam and air tables. Vapour equation of state, ideal gases. Non-reactive mixtures of ideal gases, Dalton's law. Reactive mixtures, gas analyses, stoichiometric combustion. Ideal power cycles.
Assessment:
A three-hour examination; tutorial tests, assignments and laboratory reports not exceeding 20 pages.
