Engineering Sciences 25 - Introduction to Thermodynamics

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09S: 2 09X: 11 10S: 2 10X: 11 The fundamental concepts and methods of thermodynamics are developed around the first and second laws. The distinctions among heat, work, and energy are emphasized. Common processes for generating work, heat, refrigeration, or changing the physical or chemical state of materials are analyzed. The use of thermodynamic data and auxiliary functions, such as entropy, enthalpy, and free energy, is integrated into the analysis. The numerous problems show how theoretical energy requirements and the limitations on feasible processes can be estimated. Prerequisite: Mathematics 13, Physics 13, Computer Science 5 or Engineering Science 20. Dist: TAS. Frost (spring), Griswold (summer).
