MEEN 441 Applied Thermodynamics

This course introduces the concept of exergy, the application of the first and second law of thermodynamics to gas (Brayton-based) and vapour (Rankine-based) power cycles, combined gas/vapour cycles, co-generation, and heat pump and refrigeration cycles (vapour compression, absorption and gas refrigeration cycles). Mixtures of perfect gases and vapours are also introduced, as well as psychometry, stoichiometry and combustion.
