Dear Students,
Applied Thermodynamics & Heat Transfer is the science of the relationship between heat, work and the properties of thermodynamics systems. Heat engine is a name given to a thermodynamics system which operates in a cyclic manner and in doing so produces a network from a heat supplied to it.
Examples of such system include internal combustion engines, vapor power plant and a gas turbine plants. Reversed heat engine is a thermodynamics system that is used to absorb heat from a cooled space and rejects the heat to warmer space. Its applications are in refrigeration, heat pump and air-conditioning systems.
In this course, students will be thought on the basic components, principles of operation and methods to assess and improve the performance of these systems. In addition, conduction, convection, and radiation, the three basic modes of heat transfer with the covered. Emphasis will be on developing a physical and analytical understanding of the three modes of heat transfer, as well as its applications. This course also introduces methods for calculating rates of the heat transfer by these three modes.
