Course description
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics which deals with the energy and work of a system. This class deals with not only large scale response of a system which we can observe and measure in experiments but also small scale gas interactions. The material that will be covered in this class is intended to provide you with the tools and understanding to handle basic problems involving heat engine and refrigerating system.

We will use Net-work Clicker.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this class is to understand the principle of heat engine and refrigerating system, as well as basic thermodynamics, such as equilibrium properties of macroscopic systems, the first law and the second law of thermodynamics.
Goals and objectives
  1. Define the first law of thermodynamics and apply it to a real world problem.
  2. Describe the relation among state quantities of gas, heat and work in a state change.
  3. Define the second law of thermodynamics and estimate the thermal efficiency of heat engine and COP (coefficient of performance) of refrigerating system.
  4. Estimate entropy change in various reversible processes.
  5. Explain the definition of exergy and evaluate a wasted energy in an inefficient use.
