Course Description
Concepts and laws of thermodynamics; thermodynamic properties; applications to closed
and open systems; entropy and entropy generation; availability.

1. Scope and Objective

Thermodynamics deals with energy, matter, and the laws governing their interactions. It is
essential to learn its usefulness in the design of processes, devices, and systems involving
effective utilization of energy and matter. The course emphasizes on the fundamentals and
concepts of the laws of thermodynamics as applied to control mass and control volume
systems. Irreversibility and availability are powerful tools in the design of thermodynamic
systems.
