Description

This course extends the development of thermodynamic cycle analysis commenced in ZACM2030 Thermofluids. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is introduced and, in conjunction with the other Laws, is applied to the analysis of power cycles. Power cycles represent the thermodynamic behaviour of machines such as compressors, pumps and engines.
