This course covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics, including topics such as the first law of thermodynamics, entropy, power cycles, Maxwell relations, Carnot cycle, refrigeration cycle, and equations of state. Students will learn about compressors, adiabatic and isothermal compression, work as a path function, the steam engine, different constraints and energies, departure from ideal functions, and liquefaction. The teaching method involves examples and additional balance equations. This course is designed for individuals interested in gaining a deep understanding of thermodynamics.
