About This Course
Advanced engineering thermodynamics and heat transfer is a science especially to discuss the thermal energy effectively utilized and energy conservation laws. It will tell students that the energy can be transferred by interactions of a system with its surroundings. These interactions are called work and heat. At the same time, it will investigate that the nature of the interaction or the time rate at which it occurs. The objective of this text is to extend fundamental thermodynamic theory and analysis method as well as to calculate heat transfer rates through study of the modes of heat transfer and through development of relations. It is hoped that this course will provide engineering students with information and background that will enable them to become proficient at establishing thermodynamic model and calculating thermodynamic cycle efficiency and heat transfer rate. It also will provide engineering students with new analytical methods in learning thermal processes. Let the students know the basic principle and main method to improve energy application efficiency and enhance heat transfer.
