E – 1478 Thermodynamics, Phases of Water, Laws & Processes
$225.00
Courses Included
In this course, you will get introduced to phases of water, key distinctions between the phases of water, Thermodynamics associated with the phase transition. You will learn basic calculations associated with latent and sensible heat assessment.
You will get introduced to the critical point and the triple point. The significance of these two points and their differences are illustrated through a pressure – temperature graph.
Relevance between the law of conservation of energy and the some of the mainstream thermodynamic system analysis equations is validated through derivation of the SFEE, Steady Flow Energy Equation, for closed and open thermodynamic systems. Some of the more common thermodynamic processes are defined and explained on the basis of practical thermodynamic system examples.
The Carnot and Rankin Heat Engine Cycles are explained and their differences are highlighted. The practical significance and application of Rankin Cycle is described and illustrated through temperature-entropy, pressure-enthalpy and enthalpy-entropy diagrams or graphs.
Types of steam turbines and associated operating principles are explained. Application of thermodynamic principles, analytical methods, strategy, techniques and equations is illustrated through a capstone case study that spans from ice to superheated steam, and subsequent generation of electrical power through a steam turbine.
This course caters to engineers of all disciplines, as well as technicians, facilities managers and executives who are not intimately familiar with thermodynamics principles and practices. The course is based on the text titled Thermodynamics Made Simple for Energy Engineers,” by S. Bobby Rauf, Fairmont Press, 2010.
