Thermodynamics I

Catalog description

Properties of a pure substance and equations of state for ideal and real gases will be introduced with the concepts of work and heat during a thermal process. The first law of Thermodynamics will be presented with internal energy and enthalpy as applied to a system and a control of volume. The second law of thermodynamics as well as entropy transfer and generation during reversible and irreversible processes will be discussed, basic concepts of thermodynamic cycles (including Carnot cycle) and thermal efficiency will be covered.
