Thermodynamics - heat and work. Essential characteristics of the carnot cycle - the availability. Part 1 Gas cycles: the carnot engine with gas as the working fluid; the simple constant pressure joule cycle; reheat and intercooling; joule cycle with heat exchange; the complete system; non-steady flow cycles for low power output. Part 2 Steam cycles: some properties of steam; the carnot engine with steam as the working fluid; the simple Rankine cycle; raising the mean receptor temperature - superheat, reheat and supercriticality; regenerative heating; the full steam system; binary and combined cycles; nuclear power cycles.
