Course

Contents

(description)

To provide an integrated introductory presentation of thermodynamics. The unifying theme is the application of these principles in thermal systems engineering. Thermal systems involve the storage, transfer, and conversion of energy. Thermal systems engineering is concerned with how energy is utilized to accomplish beneficial functions in industry, transportation, the home, and so on.

Course Objectives

This course is concerned with idealized cycles for both power and refrigeration apparatus. We will also study the two-component system of air and water vapor, generally called psychrometrics, review the method to balance chemical-reaction equations, apply the first law to combustion problems and calculate the temperature of the flame after combustion occurs.

Learning

Outcomes and

Competences

• Review the first and second law of thermodynamics.
• Power and refrigeration systems.
• Gas mixtures and Psychrometry.
• Chemical reactions and combustion process.
