Preamble
All activities in nature involve some interaction between energy and matter. Thermodynamics is
a branch of science that deals with the concepts and laws governing the energy and its
transfer. Engineering thermodynamics plays a major part in the design and analysis of
engineering systems including automotive engines, rockets, jet engines, power plants, and
refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. A better understanding of the basic laws of
engineering thermodynamics and applying them to the design of engineering systems is
essential for mechanical engineers. This course deals with the concepts and laws of
thermodynamics to determine the energy and entropy of ideal gas, water, mixture of gases and
air and water vapour mixture.
