| Course Description | This course provides a comprehensive introduction to some fundamental aspects of thermodynamics. The following topics are covered: Thermodynamic systems and properties of pure substances, thermodynamic processes. Work and heat interactions. The First Law for closed systems and for flow processes. The Second Law and entropy. Irreversibility and availability. Power and refrigeration cycles. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) Determine properties of real substances, such as steam and refrigerant 134-a, and ideal gases from either tabular data or equations of state; 2) Analyze processes involving ideal gases and real substances as working fluids in both closed systems and open systems or control volumes to determine process diagrams; 3) Apply the first law of thermodynamics to perform energy balances, and determine heat and work transfers; 4) Analyze systems and control volumes through the application of the second law; 5) Analyze the basic gas power, vapor and refrigeration cycles. |
