COURSE OBJECTIVES* (Numbers shown in brackets are links to departmental educational outcomes.)
  1. Provide students with a capability to use different units in thermodynamics. [1,5]
  2. Provide students with a basic understanding of thermodynamics. [1,2,3,5]
  3. Provide students with a capability to apply thermodynamics to engineering situations. [1,2,3,5]
  4. Provide students with a capability to present thermodynamical results convincingly. [7]
COURSE OUTCOMES* (Numbers shown in brackets are links to the course objectives listed above.)
  1. use SI units. [1]
  2. explain the differences between, and give examples of intensive and extensive properties. [2]
  3. extract all intensive properties of a substance from its thermodynamic tables. [2]
  4. use two different intensive thermodynamic state properties to determined the state of the system and the remaining intensive thermodynamic state properties for liquids and vapors, and for ideal gases. [2,3]
  5. state the first law of thermodynamics for control masses and for steady state control volumes. [2]
  6. use the first law of thermodynamics to calculate the work, power output/input, heat transfer, or heat transfer rates for thermodynamic processes or cycles containing solids, liquids, vapors, and/or ideal gases. [3]
  7. state the second law of thermodynamics in various ways. [2]
  8. use the second law of thermodynamics to calculate the net entropy change or rate of entropy generation for thermodynamic processes or cycles containing solids, liquids, vapors, and/or ideal gases. [3]
  9. plot thermodynamic processes or cycles in p-v, T-v, and T-s plots. [2,3]
  10. write out a problem solution in a well organized manner that includes sketches/pictures, the given information, the equations used, and unit conversions. [4]
