Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach", Y.A. Çengel, M.A. Boles, McGrawHill, 6th ed., 2007
The course is designed to introduce students to the basic principles of classical thermodynamics. Thermodynamic analysis and solutions of engineering problems are presented with a closed and open system approach.
1. Students learn to explain the fundamental concepts and terms of thermodynamics and to determine the properties of pure substances and ideal gases using appropriate tables, diagrams, or equations of state.
2. The ability to analyze energy interactions and evaluate engineering devices is gained by applying the conservation of mass and the first law of thermodynamics to closed and open (control volume) systems.
3. Students learn to evaluate the direction/feasibility of processes, irreversibility, and ideal performance limits using the second law of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy.
4. The analysis of vapor power and refrigeration cycles and the evaluation of their efficiencies are learned.
5. Students gain knowledge about the environmental impact and sustainability dimensions of thermodynamic systems, as well as engineering ethics responsibilities.
