Paper Description
This paper covers the topics of thermodynamic potentials, gas mixtures, psychrometry, air conditioning, compressed air processes, refrigeration and power cycles, combustion, and phase and chemical equilibria. The overall aims are that students will learn to correctly apply the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the thermodynamic potentials to the solution of energy problems, be able to carry out quantitative and qualitative analysis of thermodynamic processes, and be aware of the relationships between engineering thermodynamics and the design of energy conversion systems. The paper has several themes: increasing theoretical knowledge, using analysis tools, understanding the context of applied thermodynamics, developing professional skills, and appreciating the engineering design limitations of energy conversion systems.
The course consists of 24 lectures, 5 three-hour labs, and a one-hour tutorial each week to assist with assignments.
Assessment:
Final exam 50%, Assignments 25%, Laboratories 25%.
