This course is on basic engineering thermodynamics. The first part, on single-component systems, covers basic concepts and definitions, conservation of mass, 1 st and 2 nd laws of thermodynamics for closed and open systems, thermodynamic properties of a pure substance and practical applications. The second part covers the physical behavior of a mixture of ideal gases, psychrometry, thermodynamics of reacting systems, combustion, phase and chemical equilibrium, and applications. Lecture notes will be provided and supplemented with assignments that emphasize systematic problem-solving.
