Course Objective

The course will give a brief overview of the basic concepts of Thermodynamics followed by applications of
the Laws of Thermodynamics to different systems and estimate their performance and various energy
interactions for understanding the different Thermodynamic cycles. The course will also focus on Air standard
cycles, Steam power cycles, gas power cycles, and Refrigeration cycles.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will:


● understand the basics and laws of Thermodynamics
● learn the different types of power and refrigeration cycles employing gas or vapour as the working
fluid
● be able to apply 1st and 2nd laws to any system to estimate their performance, determine various
energy interactions and associated losses due to system irreversibility
