EGR 220 - Engineering Thermodynamics

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Engineering

Description:

Engineering Thermodynamics is an introductory one-semester course with lecture and demonstrations designed for engineering and science students. Major topics include: concepts of thermodynamics; pressure; temperature; heat and heat transfer; properties of substances; density; extensive and intensive properties; First Law of Thermodynamics and its application; Second Law of Thermodynamics and its application; reversible and irreversible processes; the Clausius, Kelvin, and Planck statements of the Second Law; entropy and Carnot, Otto, Diesel, and Rankine cycles; power cycles and the refrigeration cycle. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Understand the basic concepts and definitions needed to apply the laws of thermodynamics; Describe the properties and behavior of a pure substance; Develop the First Law of Thermodynamics and apply it to control volume problems; State the Second Law of Thermodynamics and describe its significance to the analysis of cycles and processes; Understand the concept of entropy and its relationship to the Second Law of Thermodynamics; Analyze the operation of power and refrigeration systems.
