Courses

Thermodynamics 1 (30112)

Abstract:

Fundamental concepts in thermodynamics, pure substance, heat, energy,

work, first law of thermodynamic, heat engines in closed systems, the first law as a rate equation,

enthalpy, the second law of thermodynamic and entropy, reversible process and Carnot heat engine,

thermodynamic cycles in open systems, air cooling-heat pumps.

Thermodynamics 2 (30113)

Abstract:

This course goal is to introduce students to thermodynamic

properties of pure substances and mixtures, and the interdependency of properties

of substances. The applicability of the First Law, Second Law, conservation of mass

and properties of substances in practical engineering systems, including gas mixtures

and power and refrigeration cycles will also be examined. In addition,

basic concepts of air conditioning will be studied while introducing

air-water vapor mixtures basic and the psychrometric diagram.

Fundamentals concepts of combustion reactions, enthalpy of formation

and heat of combustion will also be addressed.
