Thermal Engineering Detailed Syllabus for B.Tech third year first sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Thermal Engineering B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) third year first sem is as follows.
B.Tech. III Year I Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code:NT501PC 4/1/0/4
Course Overview:
This course is intended to introduce basic principles of internal combustion engines, compressors and refrigeration are widely used in automobile, agriculture, industry for transport, water pumping, electricity generation, earth moving and to supply mechanical power to grinders, crushers etc. Compressors are used for supply of gases including air at higher pressure. Compressors are used to supply compressed air to all pneumatic equipments and for gases such as cooking gas, oxygen, nitrogen, neon, argon compressors are also used. Thus there is great relevance for this course for mechanical engineers.
Course Objectives:
- To introduce basic principles of operation of IC engines compressors and refrigeration systems.
- To understand the procedures of testing and evaluating the performance of these machines.
- To know the maintenance details and procedures.
- Teach students to conduct experiments in laboratories and analyze the results with theoretical ones.
Course Outcomes: The student will be able to:
- Understand main idea and importance behind the 2 – S and 4 – S IC engines.
- To analyze the working of the basic components in the IC engines, Compressors and Refrigeration systems.
- Understand the combustion process and also how it does affect the performance of the IC engines.
- Apply the thermodynamic principles in the design of an IC engines, compressors, and refrigeration system.
- Formulate and perform the procedures required for the maintenance and operation of IC engines, compressors, and refrigeration systems.
- Compare different IC engines, compressors, and refrigeration systems and develop a system which meets the requirements.
