Expected Syllabus Breakdown
1. Applied Thermodynamics & Thermal Machines
- Internal Combustion Engines: Working principles, thermodynamic analysis, and cycles (Otto, Diesel, and Carnot cycles) behind multi-cylinder internal combustion engines (matching the illustration on the cover).
- Heat Transfer: Conduction through compound media, convection mechanisms, and radiation laws applied to real-world cooling and heating elements.
- Refrigeration: Principles of gas liquefaction, vapor compression cycles, and modern refrigeration setups.
2. Electrical Circuits & Applied Electromagnetism
- AC and DC Network Analysis: Advanced network theorems (Thevenin, Norton, Maximum Power Transfer), transients in RLC circuits, and resonant electrical networks.
- Electrical Instruments: Operational principles of ballistic galvanometers, earth inductors, and bridges (such as Carey Foster) used for high/low resistance testing.
