Revision of steady flow processes with gases and liquids.
Non-steady flow with non-reacting fluids.
Second law of thermodynamics.
Entropy of gas, liquids and vapours, T-s and h-s charts.
Reversibility.
Vapour compression refrigeration.
Turbine isentropic efficiency.
Reciprocating has gas compressors.
lntroduction to power cycles including Carnot, Rankine (with
reheat and feed water heating), Otto, Diesel, Joule, Stirling.
