ENGN2222 — Engineering Thermodynamics

code: ENGN2222
name: Engineering Thermodynamics
unit value: 6
description: This course conveys the fundamental thermodynamic principles and analysis methods. The topics covered include basic concepts and definitions, first law of thermodynamics and its applications to closed and open systems, second law of thermodynamics, equations of state, thermodynamic property relations, ideal gas mixtures, psychrometrics, reacting mixtures, chemical and phase equilibrium. The course briefly explores relations between thermodynamics and information theory. Application examples are presented for engineered and natural systems and processes, and cover energy, materials and process engineering, natural and built environments, biology and medicine, earth sciences, and astrophysics.
