ME-5104: Thermodynamics: Foundations and Applications
Description: Exposition of the basic concepts and principles of thermodynamics. Principles and results developed for both macroscopic and microscopic systems as well as equilibrium and non-equilibrium states. Definition of entropy for any state. The definition of temperature; pressure, total potential; heat; work; the fundamental Gibbs, Euler, Gibbs-Duhem, and Maxwell relations; characteristic functions; and the state principle. Definition and use of thermo-physical properties, charts, tables, and equations of state for pure as well as mixtures of ideal and real gases, liquids and solids. Second Law analysis, energy conversion, chemical reactions and chemical equilibrium, and introduction to the phenomenological laws of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. I.
