Thermal Physics

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    By the end of the course the students will be able to: • Identify energy transformation processes in thermal systems. • Identify state points of thermal systems. • Identify thermodynamic terminology such as process, path, cycle, internal energy, enthalpy, heat and work. • Represent any process on property diagrams such as p-v and T-v plots. • Explicitly define the first law of thermodynamics and represent its forms. • Use Thermodynamic tables and EES software to determine state and properties of a substance. • Determine the relationship between different thermodynamic properties. • Differentiate between open and closed systems, ideal and real gases, intensive and extensive properties. • Apply the first law of thermodynamics on engineering systems.
  • Course Goals
  • Affordable and Clean Energy
  • Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
