Course Description

This course provides students with instruction in the fundamentals of theory of gas power cycles, internal combustion engines, steam nozzles and turbines, air compressor, and refrigeration and air conditioning.

Course Objectives

This course is given based on a degree program in Mechanical Engineering for improving students’ professional qualification in thermal engineering. Students will combine theory, graphical and analytical skills to understand some concepts of thermal engineering. 

Course Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully pass the course will acquire knowledge on the following topics:

I – To increase the ability of students to effectively present written, oral and graphical solutions to thermodynamic design problems.

II -To develop the ability to analyze and understand the gas and vapor power cycles (Rankine,Otto, Diesel, Dual, and Brayton cycles), components of internal combustion engines, steam nozzles and turbines, air compressors, and refrigeration and air conditioning.

III – To develop the ability to systematically design and optimize thermodynamic power and refrigeration cycles.

Instructional Methods and Techniques

Lectures, assignments and solving of sample problems in class.
