Steam Tables
We will be using our own steam tables. These will be provided as a PDF le, and
each student should have a personal print.
Exercises
The Exercise Set will be made available through the ASC-Moodle site for this
course.
Course Outline
Introduction to thermodynamics. Denitions and terms. System, surroundings,

Law. Basic form. Energy of a system. The heat interaction. Sign convention.
Diathermic boundary. Zeroth law. Isothermal states. Empirical temperature. Prin-
ciples of thermometry. Scales of temperature. Gas thermometer. The ideal gas.
Ideal gas temperature scale.
The state principle. Equations of state. Properties of gases. Properties of steam.
Introduction to steam tables. Other equations of state. Van-der-Waals gas.
Critical state. Reduced equation of state.
The Second Law. A multiplicity of statements. The Kelvin-Planck statement. Hi-
erarchy of temperatures. Denition of higher and lower temperature. Carnot
theorem. Thermodynamic temperature scales. Thermodynamic Kelvin scale.
Carnot engine. Equivalence of thermodynamic Kelvin scale and ideal gas Kelvin
scale. Clausius inequality. Denition of entropy. Evaluation of entropy. Princi-
ple of increase of entropy. Formulation of second law for closed systems. Adia-
batic, reversible, and isentropic processes.
Auxiliary functions. Property relations. Maxwells equations. Applications to equa-
tions of state.
First law for open systems. Derivation of the general form. Special cases. Steady-
ow energy equation. Second law for open systems.
If the schedule permits, the following additional topic may be included:
Combined rst and second laws. Availability and exergy. Lost work.
Assessment
Quizzes (four, best three considered): 30%
Mid-semester examination: 30%
Semester-end examination: 40%
IMPORTANT
All quizzes and examinations will be closed-book, but each student will use her/his
copy of steam tables and charts (if any). No exchange of this material will be
permitted. Any misuse of tables/charts will lead to punishment.
The IITB rule about attendance will be implemented. Students with an absence of
over 20% may be awarded the XX grade.
