Module-1

Basic concepts of Thermodynamics: Thermodynamic system, classification of thermodynamic system. Thermodynamic property- extensive and intensive properties. Thermodynamic state, thermodynamic process. Reversible, irreversible process, Quasi-static process. Thermodynamic equilibrium, zeroth law of thermodynamics. Energy: classification, stored energy and energy in motion. Work and heat-definition, work done at the moving boundary. Comparison between work and heat.

Module-2

I and II Laws of Thermodynamics: I and II Laws of thermodynamics: Statements, cyclic processes, numerical problems. Air Compressors: Single stage and multistage reciprocating air compressors on surface and in underground mines. Expression for work done during single stage air compression with and without clearance volume. Volumetric efficiency. Simple numerical problems on single stage compressors only.

Module-3

Module-4

Fluid Statistics: pressure, atmospheric pressure, gauge and absolute pressure, measurement of pressure, piezometer tube, double column u-tube manometer, differential and inverted U-tube measurements, Bourdon’s pressure gauge, diaphragm pressure gauge and dead weight pressure gauge. Total pressure and center of pressure on submerged plane surfaces; horizontal, vertical and inclined planes, curved surface submerged in liquid. Buoyancy: definition, center of buoyancy, metacenter and metacentric height, conditions of equilibrium of floating and submerged bodies, determination of metacentric height experimentally and theoretically.

Module-5

Fluid Dynamics: Introduction to equation of motion, Euler’s equation of motion, Bernoulli’s equation from first principles and also from Euler’s equation, limitations of Bernoulli’s equation, assumptions, hydraulic gradient line and total energy line. Numerical Problems.

Course Outcomes:

Question Paper Pattern:

The question paper will have ten full questions carrying equal marks.
Each full question will be for 20 marks.
There will be two full questions (with a maximum of four sub- questions) from each module.
Each full question will have sub- question covering all the topics under a module.
The students will have to answer five full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
