| •Course Purpose |
| The main focus of this course is the basic principles of thermodynamics, which means not only classic thermodynamics but also chemical reaction and energy conversion.
It is expected that, after the course, students aquire basic knowledge of thermodynamics. It is also expected that students can explain the fundamentals for macroscopic physical phenomena and calcuate engineering problems such as thermal efficiency of heat engines. |
| •Prerequisite Subjects |
| Calculus, linear algebra, fundamentals of physics |
| •Course Topics |
| 1. Thermal Equilibrium and Temperature, and State Equations
2. The First Law of Thermodynamics 3. The Second Law of Thermodynamics and Carnot Cycle 4. Entropy 5. Free Energy 6. Thermodynamic Functions 7. Phase Equilibrium and Chemical Equilibrium 8. Heat engines Exercise session follow every other week. Part of problems are assigned as homework. |
| •Textbook |
| Handouts will be provided. |
