Description

Following on from Thermodynamic Cycles (ZACM2031), which deals primarily with power cycles, this course commences with the analysis of thermodynamic cycles whose purpose is the transfer of heat. Such cycles represent the thermodynamic behaviour of refrigerators and heat pumps. Additionally, the course examines the thermodynamic behaviour of gas mixtures, and relates the results to the air stream mixing and humidification inherent in air conditioning systems. Finally, the thermodynamics of gaseous combustion are studied in order to understand how heat is produced by the burning of fuels.
