ENGR& 224 - Thermodynamics
5.0 Credits Introduction to the basic principles of thermodynamics from a macroscopic point of view and including such concepts as ideal and real gases, work and heat, first and second laws and their applications to engineering systems concerning energy conversion, refrigeration, humidification, and combustion. Prerequisite CHEM& 162, MATH& 152, and PHYS& 221. Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs) Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Define systems, control volumes, properties, and state of a substance, process, and cycle as it pertains to thermodynamics.
- Analyze the performance of an engineering system by applying the first law of thermodynamics.
- Determine the fundamental limits on the operation of an engineering system using the second law of thermodynamics.
- Apply the concepts of reversibility and entropy change to the analysis of thermodynamic systems and control volumes.
- Analyze a Rankine cycle, vapor compression refrigeration cycle, and air-standard Otto cycle with the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
