RATIONALE
The rationale to include this module in the academic programme is because this module is the core and major
module in the academic programme. The course is designed in developing an understanding of the application of
the thermodynamics knowledge in various engineering systems. The subject covers the review and analysis of
energy, gas power cycles, vapour power cycles and steam properties using laws of thermodynamics
