ENGR 2000 - Thermodynamics
4 Credits
Provides a foundation in the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics using a macroscopic approach. Topics include: Properties, equations of state, processes, cycles for reversible and irreversible thermodynamic systems. Modes of energy transfer. Equations for conservation of mass, energy, and entropy balances. Application of thermodynamic principles to engineering systems.
Pre-Requisites Grade of C or higher in both MATH 1133 CHEM 1061 . PHYS 1081 strongly recommended.
