A. Course Objectives

1. To understand the nature and role of the following thermodynamic properties of matter:
internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, temperature, pressure and specific volume alongside
charting thermodynamic processes on appropriate thermodynamic diagrams, such as a
temperature-entropy or pressure-volume diagram.
2. To represent a thermodynamic system by a control mass or control volume, distinguish the
system from its surroundings, and identify work and/or heat interactions between the system
and surroundings.
3. To understand the different forms of energy and restrictions imposed by the first law of
thermodynamics on conversion from one form to another and apply the first law to a control
mass or control volume at an instant of time or over a time interval.
4. To understand implications of the second law of thermodynamics and limitations placed by
the second law on the performance of thermodynamic systems.
5. To understand P-V-T behavior of pure substances and evaluate the thermodynamic
properties of steam using steam tables and Mollier’s diagram.
6. To understand the functioning of S.I and C.I engines and evaluate the thermodynamic
efficiencies of Diesel cycle and Otto cycle.
B. Course Outcomes
On completion of this course, the students will be able to

CO1. Understand the basics of thermodynamics and evaluate energy transfers for various
processes
CO2. Apply the laws of thermodynamics and general energy balance to a thermodynamic
system
CO3. Evaluate entropy changes in a wide range of processes and determine the reversibility or
irreversibility of a process
CO4. Estimate the thermodynamic properties of steam using Steam tables or Mollier chart
CO5. Understand the PVT behavior of pure substances
CO6. Distinguish S.I & C. I engines and determine thermodynamic efficiencies of various cyclic

C. Catalog Description
Thermodynamics are important in many scientific and technological problems and can be
applied to any discipline, technology, applications or the processes. Thermodynamic is used to
understand many energy exchanges accompanying a wide range of mechanical and chemical
processes. In thermodynamic we study mainly interactions between the thermodynamic
system and surrounding in the form of heat and work. Due to interaction between system and
surrounding properties of the system will change and we can study all qualitative and
quantitative changes within the system by laws of thermodynamics.

GUIDELINES

Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other electronic
communication devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in classes during
Tests or the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned off in the class room.

E-Mail and online learning tool: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a
pass word to access the LMS system regularly. Regularly, important information – Date of
conducting class tests, guest lectures, via online learning tool. The best way to arrange
meetings with us or ask specific questions is by email and prior appointment. All the
assignments preferably should be uploaded on online learning tool. Various research
papers/reference material will be mailed/uploaded on online learning platform time to time.

Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of 75% in each subject.
Students with less than said percentage shall NOT be allowed to appear in the end semester
examination.

Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two different
approaches have been decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will be assessed in
different ways through direct assessment and indirect assessment. In Direct Assessment, it is
measured through quizzes, tests, assignment, Mid-term and/or End-term examinations. It is
suggested that each examination is designed in such a way that it can address one or two
outcomes (depending upon the course completion). Indirect assessment is done through the
student survey which needs to be designed by the faculty (sample format is given below) and
it shall be conducted towards the end of course completion. The evaluation of the
achievement of the Course Outcomes shall be done by analyzing the inputs received through
Direct and Indirect Assessments and then corrective actions suggested for further
improvement.

Passing criterion:

• For UG-Students: Scoring less than 35 absolute marks in individual course either in
end semester examination or as composite score shall be awarded as ‘F’

• For PG-Students: Scoring less than 40 absolute marks in individual course either in
end semester examination or as composite score shall be awarded as ‘F’

• For UG & PG: Students scoring 85 marks and above as composite score
(IA+MS+ES) shall be awarded as the highest grade as ‘O’ i.e., Outstanding (on 10
point Scale) and ‘A’ i.e., Outstanding (on 4 point Scale)
