"Thermodynamics" has been applied to fields of engineering. Recently, problems in energy and in environment have much relation
with thermophysics, and its importance increases.
Students need to understand basic concept in thermodynamics as an engineer in lots of fields. In this course, students learn concepts of the temperature and the heat, and learn that one can descript much thermal phenomena by laws of thermodynamics. In the course, exercises are carried out when needed.

Students can understand the first and the second laws of thermodynamics, and can solve problems about thermal phenomena.
In addition, students can understand basic concepts in heat transfer under the knowledge of thermodynamics.
In addition, students can understand basic concepts in heat transfer under the knowledge of thermodynamics.
- One can understand laws of thermodynamics, and can explain the temperature, the entropy, and free energies. Using those knowledge, one can calculate works in quasi-static process and the specific heat of ideal gas.
- One can explain Carnot's cycle, and can calculate needed equations.
One can calculate thermal efficiency in some cycles. - One can explain the thermal equilibrium and the relation between free energies and a direction of change in thermal states.
One can explain phases and phase equilibrium by the chemical potential. - One can explain basic concepts in heat transfer under the knowledge of thermodynamics, and can calculate basic problem about the heat transfer.
