Description:

Spring Semester This course has two primary objectives. The first is to demonstrate how solids, liquids, and gases are characterized in engineering processes. The second is to develop and apply the fundamental laws that govern engineering processes involving energy transfer, heat, and work. The course begins by examining the properties needed to describe solids, liquids, and gases. Next, the concepts of work, heat transfer, and energy are introduced. These concepts then lead to the development of the fundamental laws used for analysis of thermodynamic systems including conservation of mass, energy, and entropy. The course concludes by applying these fundamental laws to study several important thermodynamic devices including power plants, internal combustion engines, air conditioning/refrigeration systems, and heat pumps. Prerequisite: MAT172. 4 credit hours.
