Students will study heat terminology and perform heat calculations during changes of state and calorimeter tests. Solving calculations involving the thermal expansions of solids and liquids and heat transferred through a substance. A brief study of the properties of saturated and superheated steam and, using information from the steam tables, students can calculate the heat required to produce steam at various conditions; determine the evaporation in steam boilers; explain the laws of perfect gases and perform calculations involving the expansion and compression of gases. The fundamental principles in the structure, formation and interaction of chemical compounds and the importance of chemistry in industrial operations are introduced. The required syllabus content for writing the standardized 3rd Class Power (Operating) Engineering exams and the practical work content is included in this course.
