Course Objectives This course focuses on classical thermodynamics. Constructs the principles of thermodynamics such as mass, heat, energy, work, efficiency, ideal, and real thermodynamic cycles and processes. Covers open and closed systems, perfect gas law, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics with their applications in several engineering fields.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Explain the concepts of temperature, pressure and volume
  • Explain zeroth, first, second and third law of thermodynamics
  • Make the energy balances of open and closed systems
  • Analyze ideal and real thermodynamic cycles
  • Solve engineering problems using properties, property tables and the relationships of thermodynamics
Course Description The main topics included in this course are heat, work, kinetic theory of gasses, equation of state, thermodynamics system, control volume, first and second laws of thermodynamics, reversible and irreversible processes, introduction to basic thermodynamic cycles, system applications, entropy.
