At the end of this course, the student will be able to

- understand and effectively use fundamental engineering thermodynamic concepts;

- make and apply appropriate assumptions to develop and solve mathematical models based on the 1st law of thermodynamics;

- make and apply appropriate assumptions to develop and solve mathematical models based on the 2nd law of thermodynamics;

- make and apply appropriate assumptions to develop and solve mathematical models for non-reacting and reacting systems;

- complete an exergetic (2nd law) analysis of a system and interpret the results.
