MECH 3810

This course builds on the thermodynamic concepts presented in Thermo-Fluid Engineering I. Introductory concepts of cycles, processes, heat and work are reviewed. The first and second law of thermodynamics are applied to open and closed systems, both steady-state and transient processes. Availability and energy analysis are presented. Vapour, gas power and refrigeration cycles are studied. Non-reacting mixtures, psychrometry, combustion and chemical equilibrium are also covered.
