Applied Thermodynamics

Applied Thermodynamics builds upon the foundational principles of classical thermodynamics to analyze real-world engineering systems involving energy conversion and fluid flow. The course focuses on the thermodynamic analysis of power-producing and power-consuming devices such as internal combustion engines, gas turbines, steam power plants, compressors, and nozzles. Emphasis is placed on combustion processes, the behavior of pure substances and ideal gases, property relations, and the application of the first and second laws to open and closed systems. Key topics include fuel types and combustion stoichiometry, energy balances in reacting systems, entropy and availability analysis, psychrometrics, and thermodynamic cycles such as Otto, Diesel, Rankine, and Brayton. The course also introduces the principles of chemical equilibrium and the use of real gas models where appropriate. Through theoretical derivations, practical examples, and numerical problem-solving, students gain the ability to evaluate and optimize thermal systems for efficiency and performance.
