The detailed syllabus for Thermodynamics for Petroleum Engineers B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) third year first sem is as follows.
B.Tech. III Year I Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code:PE503PC 4/1/0/4
Prerequisites: Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Physics
Course Objective: This course is to understand the laws of thermodynamics and their application in the analysis of chemical and engineering problems and to calculate thermodynamics properties of fluids and fluid mixtures using equation of state.
Course Outcome: Student should be able to identify a system and apply the laws of thermodynamics and should be able to estimate thermodynamic properties of substances in gas or liquid state
UNIT-I Introduction: The scope of thermodynamics, defined quantities; temperature, volume,
pressure, work, energy, heat, Joules Experiments, SI units. The first law and other basic concepts: The first law of thermodynamics, thermodynamic state and state functions, enthalpy, the steady-state steady flow process, equilibrium, the reversible process, constant-V and constant- P processes, heat capacity.
UNIT-II Volumetric properties of pure fluids: The PVT behavior of pure substances, virial equations, the ideal gas, the applications of the virial equations, Cubic equations of state, generalized
correlations for gases. The second law of thermodynamics-1: Statements of the second law, heat engines,
thermodynamic temperature scales, thermodynamic temperature and the ideal-gas scale.
UNIT-III The second law of thermodynamics-2: Entropy, Entropy changes of an ideal gas,
mathematical statement of the second law, the third law of thermodynamics. Mollier diagram and steam tables. Thermodynamics of flow processes; principles of conservation of mass and energy for flow systems, analysis of expansion processes; turbines, throttling; compression processes – compressors and pumps; calculation of ideal work and last work. Examples on hydrocarbons and natural gas.
