THERMODYNAMICS

Prepared by: Engr. M. R. Serrano

 Course Objectives:
To make you familiarize with the basic concepts, devices, and properties
used in thermodynamics
To teach how to evaluate energy, work and heat transfer processes
To teach the conservation laws for mass and energy for various physical
systems
To teach application of process knowledge to the analysis of complete
systems
 Course Outcomes:
Identify different subsystems, indicate where there is work, heat transfer and the importance
of temperature, pressure and density
Given a set of properties, identify the correct phase and remaining properties for a substance
Given a physical setup, determine the associated work and heat transfers that are the most
reasonable approximations
Given a physical device and process, compute the work and heat transfer
Given an actual device, analyze the corresponding ideal device
