Having successfully completed the course, the student will have achieved the following:
- Identifying the properties of a pure substance using tables including internal energy, enthalpy and entropy
- Applying equations of state and thermodynamic relations to evaluate the properties of pure substances
- Identifying and analyze systems using work, heat, mass interactions and the first and second law of thermodynamics on closed and open systems
- Analyzing systems based on maximum efficiency and entropy generation using second law of thermodynamics
- Analyzing idealized Rankine, Otto, Diesel, Brayton, and vapor-compression cycles in basic power and refrigeration systems
- Analyzing thermodynamic properties of gas and vapor mixtures using psychrometrics
- Designing thermodynamic systems and processes by combining devices such as turbines, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, and valves
