Synopsis
The goal of this course is cover the basic principles of
thermodynamics. To present a wealth of real-world engineering
applications to give students a feel for engineering practice. To
develop an intuitive understanding of the subject matter by
emphasizing the physics and physical arguments. To apply the
principles of conservation of mass and energy, production of
entropy, work potential of energy, reversible work and
irreversibility, second-law efficiency, and exergy change of a
system.
