JNTUK B.Tech Thermodynamics & Kinetics gives you detail information of Thermodynamics & Kinetics R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.

Course Objective: To provide a comprehensive coverage of the laws of thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical processes so as to prepare the student for professional practice.

UNIT-I : (Learning Objectives: The student can understand the basic concepts of the properties of a system to help them to get a clear understanding of reversible and irreversible processes.)
Objectives and limitations to thermodynamics, concepts of system and state, heterogeneous and homogeneous systems, extensive and intensive properties of system, thermodynamic variables, thermodynamic equilibrium. Reversible and irreversible processes.

UNIT-II : (Learning Objectives: The student can understand a clear concept of enthalpy and internal energy. It also helps in understanding a classification of work. These basic concepts will make the student to understand systems concept of manufacturing processes. It helps the student to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.)
First Law of thermodynamics: Nature of first law, relationship between heat and work, internal energy and the first law of thermodynamics, calculations of work, constant capacity, reversible adiabatic processes, reversible isothermal pressure or volume changes of an ideal gas, enthalpy change with temperature, Kirchoff’s equation. Steady state and unsteady state flow analysis.

UNIT-III : (Learning Objectives: It makes the student to understand a comprehensive view of efficiency of cycles in relation with irreversible and irreversible processes. It helps the student to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.)
Second law of thermodynamics: Efficiency of a cyclic process, Carnot cylce, carnot therom, second law of thermodynamics, concept of entropy, entropy and quantification of irreversibility, reversible processes.

UNIT-IV : (Learning Objectives: To understand the concepts of free energy and entropy. To understand the relationship between these functions and their applications in various thermodynamic processes. It helps the student to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.)
Third law of thermodynamics: Background of third law deductions from third law, applications of third law, and other methods of obtaining ∆S0 for a reaction. Free energy functions: Purposes of the new functions, definition of Helmholtz and Gibbs free energy change, meaning of thermodynamically possible process, determination of ∆G from thermal data useful relationships between free energies and other thermodynamic functions, Maxwell’s equation and Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.

UNIT-V: (Learning Objectives: To know the concepts of activity and equilibrium constants. It helps the student to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.)
Fugacity, activity and equilibrium constant: Concepts of fugacity, activity and equilibrium constant variation of the equilibrium constant with temperature, Tabular methods of recording thermodynamic data, sigma functions. Claussius – Clapeyron equation: Introduction, derivation of the Claussius – Clapeyron equation for single substance, Duhriges rule for the estimation of the vapour pressures of an element, Integration of Claussius – Clapeyron equation.

UNIT-VI : (Learning Objectives: To understand the kinetics of chemical processes and simultaneous reactions. It helps the student to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.)

Kinetics: Kinetics of chemical process, Molecularity and order of a reaction, zero order reactions, first order, second order reactions, Determination of order of reaction, collision theory, theory of absolute reaction rates, consecutives and simultaneous reactions, catalysis in chemical reactions.
(Assessment: The student should be evaluated based on the assignments aand objective tests. The student’s analytical abilities (with special focus on academically weak students) should be tested periodically in classes by giving problems). Emphasis should be given by conducting tutorial classes at the end of each unit.)
