This course educates students about energy conversions and reciprocal transformations of heat into work. Topics include first and second law of thermodynamics, thermodynamic variables, properties and relations, ideal-gas models, calculation of energy, entropy, and enthalpy variations, open and closed systems, control-volume analyses, and reversible as well as irreversible processes.
