Students will learn the applications of the second law in both closed and open systems.By the end of this section, you will be able to:
This chapter introduces the concepts of reversible and irreversible processes, Carnot cycles, entropy and entropy generation, and the second law of thermodynamics.
Students will learn how to use the first law of thermodynamics to analyze processes in typical SSSF devices, such as pipes, turbines, compressors, heat exchangers, expansion valves, and mixing chambers.Ĭhapter 6: Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics This chapter extends the concept of energy conservation to open systems with a focus on steady-state, steady flows (SSSF). Through examples, students will learn how to apply the first law of thermodynamics to engineering problems involving closed systems.Ĭhapter 5: The First Law of Thermodynamics for a Control Volume This chapter explains the concepts of heat, work, and the first law of thermodynamics for closed systems. Students will learn the difference between an “ideal” and real gases, and at what conditions the ideal gas model may be used as an approximation for evaluating properties, such as pressure, temperature, and volume of a gas.Ĭhapter 4: The First Law of Thermodynamics for Closed Systems This chapter explains the concepts of “ideal” gas, ideal gas law, real gas, and compressibility factor. This chapter prepares students with essential skills for performing comprehensive analyses of various thermodynamic processes and cycles. Students will learn how to determine thermodynamic properties of pure substances by using thermodynamic tables, and how to illustrate states and processes in phase diagrams. This chapter introduces thermodynamic properties, phase diagrams, and thermodynamic tables of pure substances.
It lays a foundation for students to understand the key concepts in the subsequent chapters.Ĭhapter 2: Thermodynamic Properties of a Pure Substance This chapter introduces basic concepts and definitions in thermodynamics, such as open and closed systems extensive and intensive properties equilibrium states, quasi-equilibrium processes, and cycles. It may also be used as self-learning materials or a supplement to other thermodynamics books.Ĭhapter 1: Basic Concepts and Definitions It is suitable for a one-term, introductory engineering thermodynamics course at the undergraduate level.
It features concise explanations of key concepts, step-by-step engineering examples, and interactive practice problems at the end of each section. This book aims to help students develop a fundamental understanding of classical thermodynamics and its engineering applications.
