Course description
This course provides an introduction to the Thermodynamics: the study of energy transformations involving heat, mechanical work, and how these transformations relate to the properties of matter.
The topics covered include basic concepts and definitions, first law of thermodynamics and its applications, second and third law of thermodynamics, equations of state, thermodynamic property relations, ideal gas mixtures , reacting mixtures, and chemical and phase equilibrium. The students will learn how to describe and apply the physical concepts work, heat, temperature, entropy, to describe thermodynamic systems and states and apply the laws of thermodynamics, to use experimental methods to investigate thermodynamic relations and present the results, to do calculations on phase transitions.
Purpose of class
The students will obtain knowledge and understanding of the basic concept of thermodynamics that have wide applications in physics as well in chemistry, life sciences, and everyday life. Most notable applicaions are in car engines, refrigerators, structures of stars, etc.
