COURSE OUTCOMES:
After successful completion of the course, the students are able to
1. Define a thermodynamic system and apply the thermodynamics to closed and open systems to
estimate the heat and work interactions
2. Apply the entropy balance to the thermodynamics systems and be able to calculate the efficiencies of
heat engines
3. Derive the thermodynamic relations among various properties to estimate the unknown properties
and also be able to estimate the efficiency of power cycles
4. Derive the thermodynamic property relations for various flow processes and also be able to
understand the principles of heat pump and refrigeration

enthalpy, heat capacity, mass and energy balances for open systems.
PVT behavior of pure substances: PT and PV diagrams, the ideal gas equations for process
calculations (for an ideal gas in any mechanically reversible closed- system process): isothermal
process, isobaric process, isochoric process, adiabatic process, and polytrophic process.
