SURVEYING I1

Cadastral surveys. Town planning. Distance measurement by subtense

bar and tacheometry, etc. Topographical surveys. Aerial a d hydrographical

surveys. Engineering and underground surveys. Computations in

earthworks. Transition curves, elc. (Field work.)

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN I

This course is designed primarily for data processing majors but may

be taken by accounting majors as an elective subject. The major areas

of study are the anaiysis, design and implementation of business data

processing systems. The course is based on the case study approach where

students design and implement a computer-based data processing system.

THERMODYNAMICS IB

The working substance. Factors of state and properties. P,v, and T

relations for the solid, liquid, and vapour phases. Perfect gases.

Systems. The non flow energy equation. Internal energy. The steady flow

energy equation. Enthalpy. Charts.

Reversible work in terms of P and v.

Thermodynamic cycles; ideal and actual. Operation of thermal plant.

Introduction to heat transfer. Fuels and Con~bustion. Stoic:~iometric

mixtures and excess air.

THERMODYNAMICS I1

Revision and more advanced treatment of thermodynamic processes.

Reversible cycles; Carnot cycle. Second Law of thermodynamics; entropy

as a property. Entropy of vapours and perfect gases. Ideal Engine and

Vapour Plant cycles; refrigeration. Actual work cycles; I.C. engines

and vapour plant. Combustion; calorific values; flue gas analysis. Heat

transmission; heat exchangers.

THERMODYNAMICS 111

Gas turbines. Cycle arrangements. Applications, turbo jets, power

generation. Nozzles for compressible fluids; convergent-divergent, efliciency.

Application to flow measurement.

Turbines. Impulse and impulse reaction. Characteristics.
