    Course Objectives The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of energy transformations and the behavior of thermodynamic systems. Key concepts such as energy balance, heat transfer, work, enthalpy, entropy, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics are introduced. Students will learn to analyze energy balances in closed and open systems and study thermodynamic cycles (e.g., steam cycles, refrigeration cycles) to understand their engineering applications. Additionally, the course develops skills in addressing contemporary engineering problems related to energy efficiency and environmental impacts.
