Course Description:
The aim of the module is to introduce the various ideal thermodynamic cycles that form the
basis for power generation, heat pumping and refrigeration. It will also emphasise the
difference between the actual and ideal cycles and methods of enhancing the performance
of actual cycles.
The module will also introduce the basic chemistry of combustion and IC Engines
performance.
