Foundations of ThermodynamicsAn introduction to the four laws of thermodynamics, systems, control volumes, equilibrium, processes, paths and cycles.
Energy, Heat & WorkEnergy classifications and transfer, heat transfer, work transfer and the first law of thermodynamics.
Properties of SubstancesPure substances, phase changes, subcooled liquid, wet vapour, superheated vapour, equations of states, enthalpy and dryness fraction.
Steady Flow ProcessesUsing the first law for control volumes, the steady flow energy equation (SFEE), block diagrams, mass &volume flow rate & the Rankine Cycle
The Second Law of ThermodynamicsReversible & irreversible processes, heat engines, actual vs ideal efficiency, Clausius' & Kelvin-Planck statement and improving efficiency.
Entropy & The Second LawThe Clausius Inequality, Entropy, Temperature-Entropy T-S diagrams, enthalpy-entropy h-s diagrams, isotropic (adiabatic) efficiency.
