Applied Thermodynamics
Addresses the design and analysis of systems in which thermodynamic processes are central to function and performance. Reviews fundamental thermodynamic concepts, such as enthalpy, entropy, exergy, 1st & 2nd law, psychrometrics and combustion. Discusses practical topics, such as system-level thermodynamic processes for automotive engines, power plants, renewable energy production and HVAC systems. Gives real-world examples to cultivate skills of solving problems with basic knowledge of thermodynamics. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
