    Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to provide students with an understanding of energy transformations and the behavior of thermodynamic systems. This course introduces fundamental concepts such as energy balance, heat transfer, the concept of work, enthalpy, entropy, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Students learn to perform energy balance analyses in closed and open systems and understand how thermodynamic cycles (e.g., vapor cycles, refrigeration cycles) are used in engineering applications. In addition, students are provided with the ability to develop solutions to current engineering problems such as energy efficiency and environmental impacts. The course develops analytical thinking and the ability to use mathematical models to solve engineering problems.
