ENGR& 224 Thermodynamics (5 credits)

1. Identify thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, and specific volume in order to analyze problems.

2. Identify thermodynamic processes and phases using property diagrams. 3. Determine thermodynamic properties and changes using charts, tables and state equations.

First Law Analysis (C)

4. Apply the first law to analyze the behavior of closed systems.

5. Apply the first law to analyze the behavior of open systems such as nozzles, turbines, compressors and heat exchangers.

6. Apply the first law to analyze steady and unsteady flow.

7. Apply the first law to compressible and incompressible fluids.

Second Law Analysis (D,E)

8. Apply the second law to analyze the behavior of heat engines, heat pumps and refrigeration systems.

9. Apply the concepts of entropy to open and closed systems.

Power Cycles (F)

10. Analyze various standard cycles including Carnot, Otto, Diesel, Brayton, Rankine and combined vapor-gas cycles.
