Description

This course provides an introduction to the concept of energy and the laws governing the transfers and transformations of energy. The course begins with an emphasis on thermodynamic properties and the First and Second Law analysis of systems and control volumes. This follows with an integration of these concepts into the analysis of basic power cycles. The course continues with an emphasis on the analysis of power and refrigeration cycles and the application of basic principles to engineering problems.

Lectures will cover the following topics in detail:
1.   Concepts and Definitions, Measurements
2.   Energy and the First Law of Thermodynamics
3.   Evaluating Properties
4.   Control Volume Analysis Using Energy
5.   The Second Law of Thermodynamics
6.   Using Entropy
