In order to deeply understanding the thermodynamics students solve a lot of exercises. The range of the problem are 70% from
thermodynamics 1 and 30% from thermodynamics 2. Each lecture will perform based on the 5 to10 exercises which are distributed
in the class.
This lecture consists the area of thermodynamics 1 and 2. In the area of Thermodynamics 1, students will start to learn based
on high school level physics. In high school physics, you have been learned three important topics for thermodynamics which
are the kinetic theory, ideal gas, and thermal efficiency of heat engines. However, most of the students, probably more than
90% do not understand those topics or do not like thermodynamics. The zeroth law, first law, second law of thermodynamics,
which have learned in thermodynamics 1 class, must be systematically studied. In this class, 70% of contents are from thermodynamics
1 and those are very important issues. In the next step, you can select and start to learn your interesting topics, for example,
combustion, gas cycles, vapor cycle, refrigeration cycle. The selected exercises in those topics are in the range of the thermodynamics
2 and it is 30%. Students solve a lot of problems or examples and have to overcome the difficulties.
- Students can understand the first law of thermodynamics and can explain the that of concept.
- Students can understand and explain the energy equation.
- Students can understand and explain ideal gas and internal energy based on kinetic gas theory.
- Students can understand the second law of thermodynamics and can explain the that of concept.
- Students can explain the heat engine cycles.
