DESCRIPTION
This course is an introduction to thermodynamics for engineering students. It concentrates upon basic principles, so that students can apply their understanding to a wide range of thermodynamics problems relevant to modern engineering. The course will provide examples of relevance to aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical engineers. Thermodynamics is used to analyze systems in virtually every branch of engineering including applications in energy use and conservation in buildings and infrastructure systems, power generation, heating and cooling, fluid motion, behavior of chemical pollutants in soil, air and water, the hydrologic cycle, global climate change, and properties that determine the mechanical behavior of structural materials.
