COURSE OUTLINE    

KMU 220 - Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics I

SPRING SEMESTER
 
INSTRUCTOR:

Dr. ÖNEL, Selis | selis@hacettepe.edu.tr
 
TEACHING ASSISTANT:

 Bilgenur Maraş | bilgenurmaras@hacettepe.edu.tr

 

COURSE GOALS:

Students will review basic thermodynamic definitions and principles as well as increase their knowledge and gain new skills in:

- Zeroth, first and second laws

- Thermodynamics of solutions

- Analysis of PV processes, mass and energy balances for both closed and open systems

- Thermodynamic property estimation of pure fluids

-  Heat engines, entropy changes for an ideal gas

-  Entropy balance for open systems. Ideal work, lost work

-  Flow processes, production of power from heat, refrigeration and liquefaction

At the end of the course, students are expected to apply basic thermodynamic principles to real-world engineering problems.

Students will learn and use MATLAB as a tool (using built-in functions) for solving numerical problems

 
COURSE MAIN TEXTBOOK: The preferred textbook is J. M. Smith, H. C. Van Ness, M. M. Abbott's book due to its well organized and clear content. Students should also refer to the supplementary textbooks for additional examples for the course. 
 
SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTBOOKS:

  • Y.Çengel, M.A. Boles, Thermodynamics; An Engineering Approach, McGraw-Hill, 2002

  • Yaşar Demirel, Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics, 2nd edition, Elsevier, 2007

  • Dr. R. Gaskell, Introduction to the Thermodyanmics of Materials, 4th edition, Taylor and Francis, 2003
