1 Unit 61: Engineering Thermodynamics Unit code: D/601/1410 QCF level: 5 Credit value: 15 Aim This unit will extend learners knowledge of heat and work transfer. It will develop learners understanding of the principles and laws of thermodynamics and their application to engineering thermodynamic systems. Unit abstract This unit will build on learners understanding of polytropic expansion/compression processes, the first law of thermodynamics and the concepts of closed and open thermodynamic systems. Learners are then introduced to the second law of thermodynamics and its application in the measurement and evaluation of internal combustion engine performance. This is followed by measurement and evaluation of air compressor performance. Finally, learners will develop an understanding of the layout and operation of steam and gas turbine power plants. Learning outcomes On successful completion of this unit a learner will: 1 Understand the parameters and characteristics of thermodynamic systems 2 Be able to evaluate the performance of internal combustion engines 3 Be able to evaluate the performance of reciprocating air compressors 4 Understand the operation of steam and gas turbine power plant.

5 Guidance Links This unit has links with Unit 1: Analytical Methods for Engineers, Unit 2: Engineering Science and Unit 41: Fluid Mechanics. Essential requirements Laboratory facilities will need to be available for the investigation of the properties of working fluids, internal combustion engines and compressor performance. Employer engagement and vocational contexts Liaison with industry can help centres provide access to relevant industrial laboratory facilities, engines, compressors and related plant. Where possible, work-based experience should be used to provide practical examples of the characteristics of thermodynamic systems. A visit to a power station will be of value to support delivery of learning outcome 4. BH Edexcel BTEC Levels 4 and 5 Higher Nationals specification in Engineering Issue 1 May 2010 Edexcel Limited
