Fluid Machines

This is an introductory course in Fluid Machines. The subject Fluid Machines has a wide scope and is of prime importance in almost all fields of engineering. The course emphasizes the basic underlying fluid mechanical principles governing energy transfer in a fluid machine and also description of the different kinds of hydraulic and air machines along with their performances. There is a well balanced coverage of physical concepts, mathematical operations along with examples and exercise problems of practical importance. After completion of the course, the students will have a strong foundation on Fluid Machines and will be able to apply the basic principles, the laws, and the pertinent equations to engineering design of the machines for required applications.

Basic Thermodynamics

The course covers lessons in Introduction and Fundamental Concepts,Zeroth Law and Fundamental Concepts, Different Kind of Energy and First Low, First Low, Second Law and Its Corollaries, Second Law and Available Energy, Joule-Kelvin Expansion: Properties of Pure Substances, Properties of Pure Substances, Properties of Pure Substances: Ideal Gases, Vapors Power Cycle, Gas Power Cycle .

LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS

Thermodynamics is the branch of science that describes the basic laws and principles governing the processes of transfer and transformation of energy along with the changes in properties of the substances aected by such processes. The laws are formulated from observations in nature. The basic principles as corollaries of the laws are established through logical deductions following the laws. The science of thermodynamics also provides the relationships of the properties of substances for their use in determining the changes of properties in physical processes performed by the substances. The subject thermodynamics is of prime importance as a foundation pillar of all branches of engineering, since technological processes and their developments involve transfer and transformation of energy. In the present course we will discuss the laws of thermodynamics and its corollaries.
