ENG232 — Thermodynamics
3 , 3 lecture periods 0 lab periods Basic laws and examples of engineering applications of macroscopic thermodynamics. Includes an introduction to concepts and definitions, energy and the first law of thermodynamics, evaluating properties, control volume energy analysis, the second law of thermodynamics, using entropy, vapor power systems, gas power systems, and refrigeration and heat pump systems. Demonstrate the ability to correctly apply the first law of thermodynamics in various physical processes including power and refrigeration cycles. Demonstrate the ability to use thermodynamic tables when analyzing closed systems undergoing processes involving phase changes in containers having moving boundaries with both insulated and diathermic walls. Demonstrate the ability to apply control-volume analysis for open systems involving various mechanical devices which include being able to apply the conservation of mass and the related-rate form of the first law of thermodynamics in the context of engineering steady-state flow problems. Demonstrate the ability to correctly apply various forms of the second law of thermodynamics in physical situations including determining maximum efficiency of power and refrigeration cycles.
