  • Overview of Thermodynamics
    • Thermodynamics is the study of energy, heat, and work in systems.
    • It examines how energy changes form and impacts matter.
    • Key principles include energy conservation and entropy.
  • Thermodynamic Systems
    • A thermodynamic system is a defined region or quantity of matter under study.
    • Systems are classified as open, closed, or isolated based on energy and matter exchange.
    • Open systems exchange both energy and matter with their surroundings.
    • Closed systems exchange only energy, while isolated systems exchange neither.
  • Thermodynamic Equilibrium
    • Thermodynamic equilibrium occurs when a system’s properties remain constant over time.
    • There’s no net flow of energy or matter within the system or with its surroundings.
    • It includes thermal, mechanical, and chemical equilibrium.
    • At equilibrium, the system’s entropy is maximized.
  • Properties of Systems
    • Volume, Process
    • Temperature, Pressure
    • Internal Energy, Gibbs Free Energy
    • Enthalpy, Entropy
    • Energy, Work and Heat
  • Introduction
    • The first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation.
    • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
    • The change in internal energy equals heat added minus work done by the system.
    • It applies to all physical and chemical processes involving energy transfer.
  • The First Law of Thermodynamics Applied to a Cycle
    • In a thermodynamic cycle, the total change in internal energy is zero.
    • The heat added to the system equals the work done by the system.
    • The energy entering the system as heat is completely converted into work.
    • The first law ensures energy conservation throughout the cyclic process.
  • The First Law of Thermodynamics Applied to a Process
    • In a thermodynamic process, the change in internal energy equals heat added minus work done.
    • Heat added to the system increases internal energy or does work on the surroundings.
    • The first law governs energy flow during processes like heating, compression, or expansion.
    • Energy conservation is maintained as heat input and work output balance the energy changes.
  • Enthalpy
    • Enthalpy is the total heat content of a system, including internal energy and pressure-volume work.
    • It is represented as H = U + PV, where U is internal energy, P is pressure, and V is volume.
    • Enthalpy is useful for analyzing heat flow in processes occurring at constant pressure.
    • Changes in enthalpy (ΔH) correspond to heat added or released in a system.
  • Introduction
    • The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy in an isolated system tends to increase.
    • It implies that natural processes are irreversible and move toward disorder.
    • Heat flows from hotter to colder bodies, not the other way around.
    • This law sets limits on the efficiency of energy conversions.
  • Heat Engines, Heat Pumps and Refrigerators
    • Heat Engines
      • Heat engines convert heat energy into mechanical work.
      • They operate by transferring heat from a hot to a cold reservoir.

      • Heat pumps are used for heating or cooling spaces.
      • They operate on the reverse cycle of a heat engine.
    • Refrigerators
      • Refrigerators transfer heat from a cold space to a warmer one.
      • They use work (usually electrical energy) to remove heat from inside.

Heat transfer in Quasi Static process from Internal Energy Relation

Formulate and apply the first law of thermodynamics to analyze the relationships between heat transfer, work done, and changes in internal energy.

Heat transfer (δQ) is the sum of the change in internal energy (dU) and the work done by or on the system (δW).

Compare and contrast heat transfer and work in different types of quasi-static processes, highlighting the implications for system behavior.

Analyze how quasi-static processes contribute to the efficiency and performance of thermodynamic cycles (e.g., Carnot cycle).

Efficiency of Carnot Engine

Explain the four stages of the Carnot cycle (isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression, and adiabatic compression) and their significance in thermodynamic process

Analyze the role of heat transfer methods and their effects on the performance and efficiency of real engines versus the ideal Carnot engine.

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is determined by the ratio of the work output to the heat input, and it depends on the temperatures of the hot and cold reservoirs.

Use diagrams and simulations to visualize the Carnot cycle, aiding in the understanding of energy transformations and efficiency calculations.

Ideal Gas Law Simulation using matlab

The Ideal Gas Law simulation in MATLAB models the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature using the equation PV=nRT.

MATLAB is used to visualize how changes in one variable (e.g., temperature) affect the others in a closed system.

The simulation allows users to input values for the number of moles (n) and the gas constant (R), then adjust pressure, volume, or temperature interactively.

Graphs can be plotted to show real-time changes in state variables, illustrating the behavior of an ideal gas.

This simulation aids in understanding thermodynamic principles, providing an interactive way to study gas laws.

Development of Matlab code for Steam Power

The MATLAB code development for a steam power cycle models thermodynamic processes, such as isentropic expansion and heat addition.

It calculates key parameters like pressure, temperature, and enthalpy at various stages of the cycle, based on steam tables.

The code includes functions to analyze efficiency, work output, and heat transfer in each part of the steam cycle (boiler, turbine, condenser, and pump).

Analyze the performance of the steam power cycle by calculating key parameters such as thermal efficiency, work output, and heat input.

Plots and diagrams are generated to visualize the cycle, such as T-S (temperature-entropy) and P-V (pressure-volume) diagrams.

This code helps in understanding steam power cycles and optimizing performance by simulating real-world power plant conditions.
