TEXT :
Fundamentals Of Engineering Thermodynamics, 4th. Ed., by Moran and Shapiro, John
Wiley and Sons, Inc., 2000
COURSE DESCRIPTION :
Studies of vapor power systems including the Rankine cycle and its modifications for use
with both fossil and nuclear fuels, vapor refrigeration systems, and all gas cycles,
including the Brayton cycle and its modifications; the Otto cycle; the Diesel cycle; and
supercharging and turbocharging.
Introduces the concepts of availability and irreversibility and thermodynamics of
nonreacting mixtures with applications to air/water/vapor mixtures for air conditioning
systems and cooling towers.
Discusses the elements of optimum power plant design.
