PREEACE
The purpose of this text is to present a simple yet rigorous
approach to the fundamentals of thermodynamics. The author
expects to help the engineering students in such a way that
learning would be easy and effective, and praetical enough for
workshop practice and understanding.

Chapters 1 and 2 present the development of the first la'ar

of thermodynamics, and energy analysis of ope:r systems
Jhapters 3 and 4 give a presentatign of equation of state and
involvingideal gases. The second law of thermodynamics andits applications to different thermodynamic cycles
are discussed in Chapters 5 and 6. Chapter ? deals with gas
compressors andits operation. Chapter 8 develops the Brayton
eycle which can be omitted if sufficient time is not available.

The author is grateful for the comments and suggestions

received from his colleagues at the University of Santo Tomas,

Basic Ppq"iples, Concepts

and Definitions

Thermodynamics is that branch of the physical sciences

that treats of various phenomena of energ-Jr and the related

properties ofmatter, especially of the laws of transformation of

heat into other forrns of energy and vice versa.

Systems of Units
Newton's law states that 'the aceeleration of a particular

body is directly proportional to the resultantforce acting on

and inversely proportional to its mass.o

Entropy is that property of a substance which
constant if no heat enters or leaves the substance, while it
work or alters its volume, but which increases or dimini
should a small amount of heat enter or leave.

Any process that can be made to go in the reverse direction
by aninfinitesimal change in the conditions is called a nrersible

Any process that is not reversible is irreversible.

Operation of the Carnot Engine

A cylinder C contains m mass of a substance. The cylindor
head, the only place where heat may enter or leave the subgtance (system) is placed in contact with the sounoe of heat or
hot body which has a constant temperature Tr. Heat flows from
the hot body into the substance in the cylinCler isothermally,
l)rocess l-2, and the piston moves from tr' to 2'. Next, the
t:ylinder is removed from the-hot body and the insulator I ie
placed over the head of the cylinder, so that no heat may be
l,ransfemed in or out. As a result, any further process is
ndiabatic. The isentrppic change 2-3 now occurs and the piston
moves from 2' to 3'. When the piston reaches the end of the
sl.roke 3', the insulator I is removed and the cylinder head is
placed in contact with the receiver or sink, which remains at a
ronstant temperature T". Heat then flows from the substance
t,rr the sink, and the isothermal compression B-4 occrut while
tlrc piston moves from 3'to 4'. Finally, the insulator I is again
lllnced over the head and the isentropic cor.npression 4-1 ret,urns the substance toits initial condition, as the piston moves
ftom 4'to 1'.

W=Wr-r+Wr"r+W'n+..
The Carnot Cycle
The Carnot cycle is the most efficient cycle concei
There are otherideal cycles as effrcient as the Carnot cycle; but
none more so, such a perfect cycle
forms a standard ofcomparison
for actual engines and actual cycles and also for other less effisient ideal cycles, permitting as
to judge how much room there
might be for improvement.
