Credits 3Satisfies University Studies requirement: Science in Engaged Community
3 hours lecture
Requirements: Pre-reqs: CHM 153 or CHM 151, and MTH 114 or MTH 112
The fundamental concepts and basic principles of classical thermodynamics. The Zeroth, First and Second laws of thermodynamics are formulated with recourse to empirical observations and then expressed in precise mathematical language. These laws are applied to a wide range of engineering problems. The properties of pure substances are described using equations of state and surfaces of state. Reversible processes in gases are analyzed by means of the First and Second laws. A representative sampling of engineering applications is discussed and analyzed.
