Engineering Thermodynamics
Engineering Thermodynamics. Instructor: Dr. D. P. Mishra, Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kanpur. This course provides an introduction to the most powerful engineering principles - Thermodynamics: the science of energy and its transformation from one form to another form. The subject is widely applicable in several branches of engineering and science. The objective of this course is to introduce systematic different tools needed to analyze energy systems from various daily lives to large scale engineering applications. More specifically, we will cover the topics of mass and energy conservation principles; first law analysis of closed and open systems; understanding second law of thermodynamics and entropy; exergy; properties of pure substances; power generation and refrigeration on thermodynamic cycles; thermodynamic relation, combustion and reaction.

| Lecture 14 - First Law of Thermodynamics for Non-cyclic Process |
This lecture describes the first law of thermodynamics applied to non-cyclic processes in a closed system. Specifically, the first law of thermodynamics is derived for isochoric and isobaric processes. It also emphasizes on the concepts of internal energy, enthalpy, and specific heats of ideal gases.
