Exclusions
Description	The aim of the module is to introduce the various ideal thermodynamic cycles that form the basis for power generation, heat pumping and refrigeration. It will also emphasise the difference between the actual and ideal cycles and methods of enhancing the performance of actual cycles. The module will also introduce the basic chemistry of combustion and IC Engines performance. Syllabus Heat Engines and Heat Pumps Second Law of Thermodynamics, Concept of heat engines and Heat Pumps; Ideal single phase heat engine cycles, Otto, Diesel, Gas Turbines Cycle (Brayton); Two Phase fluid properties, Ideal Two phase heat engine cycle, Simple Rankine Cycle; Complex steam Power plant cycles; Vapor Compression refrigeration and heat pump cycles; Combustion, Engines and Emissions Mixtures; Combustion - stoichiometry, thermal effects, flame temperature; ICE Engines - basic performance calculations.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module the student should be able to: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of scientific principles and methodology necessary to underpin their education in related engineering disciplines, to enable appreciation of its scientific and engineering context and to support their understanding of future developments and technologies. (US1); Understand engineering principles and apply them to analyse key engineering processes. (E1); Identify, classify and describe the performance of systems and components through the use of analytical methods and modelling techniques (E2); Apply quantitative methods relevant to related engineering disciplines, to solve engineering problems (E3a); Understand and apply a systems approach to engineering problems (E4); Understand the requirement for engineering activities to promote sustainable development (S3).
