Objectives
This course is designed to reinforce the thermodynamic concepts introduced in first year, and to extend those concepts to a deeper understanding of how the thermodynamic properties of fluids relate to:
- the production of useful work as in turbine generators and power cycles
- refrigeration
- the production of liquified gases.
A more meaningful understanding of the non-ideal behaviour of gases, generalized equations of state that represent the P-V-T behaviour of both liquids and gases, phase diagrams and the importance of "critical state" will be attained.
The course concludes with a design project wherein students, in teams, apply the concepts introduced in lectures and through tutorials to the optimization of a power plant..
