Course Objectives / 1. To develop a physical awareness of the phenomena in thermodynamics.
2. To present the fundamental laws that governs thermodynamics and their applications.
3. To develop practical methodologies for solving engineering problems by thermodynamics.
4. To illustrate the extremely wide variety of thermodynamics related applications in everyday life and in modern technology.
Bulletin Description / The first law of thermodynamics is studied in detail. Material covered includes concepts of energy, enthalpy, heat effects, conservation of energy, and interaction between heat transfer, mechanical work and chemical energy liberation, equation of state, behavior of gases and liquids and standard heat of reaction, formation and combustion. Study of combined mass and energy balances and the principles of the second and third law of thermodynamics are also covered.
Learning Outcome / 1)Determine thermodynamic information for pure fluids and use it to perform thermodynamic calculations oriented to the analysis of chemical processes.
2)Evaluate the values of enthalpy, entropy, internal energy for pure and mixed fluids.
3)Evaluate the effect of pressure and temperature on the properties of fluids
4)Define and obtain thermodynamic properties of pure fluids such as the heats of evaporation, formation and combustion.
5)Define and use different equations of state
6)Use enthalpy concentration charts and humidity charts in solving problems.
7)Define and draw thermodynamic diagrams such as P-V and P-T diagrams for pure fluids.
8) Able to understand the basic knowledge that is being applied in solving the thermodynamics problems.
9) Understand the principles how the current thermodynamics related devices are operated.
10) Able to develop a new thermodynamics related devices or at least can make modification to the current devices.
