Course Outcomes (COs):
CO1: To make the student gain familiarity with thermodynamic system, assess and evaluate heat and work type energy interaction for various closed thermal systems using first law, handle the be- haviour of a simple, pure substance including solid-liquid and gas phases.
CO2: To teach students to evaluate mass and energy conservation of control volumes and compute state changes, heat and work interactions and also handle simple transient situations.
CO3: To teach computation of entropy changes and make process evaluation using combined first and second law and compute the increase of entropy for various physical systems.
CO4: To make students familiar with various gas power cycles, vapor power cycles, and refriger- ation and carry out simple thermodynamic evaluation.
CO5: To make students do simple exergy analysis and evaluate the thermodynamic efficacy of various processes.
