ME-205 Thermodynamics-II (3+1 C.H), SPRING-2025
Instructor: Engr. Office Hours: 9:00–01:00pm
(Monday-Friday)
Prerequisites: Thermodynamics-I
Introduction:
Thermodynamics is a branch of natural science concerned with heat and its relation to energy and work. It defines
macroscopic variables (such as temperature, internal energy, entropy, and pressure) that characterize materials
and radiation, and explains how they are related and by what laws they change with time.
Course Objective:
In this course, learners will understand the concepts of different laws, thermodynamics engines and cycle. The
objective of the course is to familiarize the students with the construction and working of Engines, Turbines and
compressors.
Course Contents:
Exergy
