Thermodynamics

An introduction to macroscopic thermodynamics and some of its engineering applications. Presents basic concepts related to equilibrium and the zeroth, first and second laws for both closed and open systems. Examples include analysis of engines, turbines, and other engineering cycles, phase equilibrium and separation processes, chemical reactions, surface phenomena, magnetic and dielectric materials. Lectures, recitations, and laboratory. Prerequisites: ENGN 0030 or ENGN 0040 or equivalent; ENGN 0410 or CHEM 0330 . An understanding of intermediate calculus is recommended, such as MATH 0180 or MATH 0200 .
