AT6401 Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
AT6401 Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
OBJECTIVES:
To familiarize the students to understand the applied thermodynamics and
heat transfer. (Use of Standard and approved Steam Table, Mollier Chart,
Compressibility Chart and Psychrometric Chart permitted)
UNIT I GAS POWER CYCLES 10
Air standard cycles-Otto-Diesel-Dual-Work output, Efficiency and MEP
calculations – comparison of the cycles for same compression ratio and heat
addition, same compression ratio and heat rejection, same peak pressure, peak
temperature and heat rejection, same peak pressure and heat input, same peak
pressure and work output, Brayton cycle
UNIT II RECIPROCATING AIRCOMPRESSORS & REFRIGERATION
CYCLES 10
Single acting and double acting air compressors, work required, effect of
clearance volume, volumetric efficiency, isothermal efficiency, free air delivery,
Fundamentals of refrigeration, C.O.P., reversed carnot cycle, simple vapour
compression refrigeration system, T-S, P-H diagrams, simple vapour absorption
refrigeration system, desirable properties of an ideal refrigerant.
UNIT III CONDUCTION 10
Basic Concepts – Mechanism of Heat Transfer – Conduction, Convection and
Radiation – General Differential equation of Heat Conduction – Fourier Law of
Conduction – Cartesian – One Dimensional Steady State Heat Conduction –
Conduction through Plane Wall, Cylinders and Spherical systems – Composite
Systems – Conduction with Internal Heat Generation – Extended Surfaces –
Unsteady Heat Conduction – Lumped Analysis – Use of Heislers Chart.
UNIT IV CONVECTION 10
Basic Concepts – Convective Heat Transfer Coefficients – Boundary Layer
Concept – Types of Convection – Forced Convection – Dimensional Analysis –
External Flow – Flow over Plates, Cylinders and Spheres – Internal Flow –
Laminar and Turbulent Flow – Flow over Bank of tubes – Free Convection –
Dimensional Analysis – Flow over Vertical Plate.
UNIT V RADIATION 5
Basic Concepts, Laws of Radiation – Stefan Boltzman Law, Kirchoff Law –
Black Body Radiation – Grey body radiation Shape Factor Algebra – Electrical
Analogy – Radiation Shields –Introduction to Gas Radiation.
TOTAL (L:45+T:15): 60 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
It helps the students to have a clear idea of application of thermodynamics
and heat transfer.The student would be able to identify the applications of these
techniques in their engineeringfields.
