MT 3111 - Thermodynamics4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This is an introduction to the fundamentals of thermodynamics for the student in mechanical engineering technology. The fundamentals of the first law, the second law and property relations for the pure substance with phase change and ideal gases are covered. (prereq: MA 128 , PH 113 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• apply the first law of thermodynamics to closed systems
• able to apply the first law of thermodynamics to open systems
• apply entropy relations to various processes (pure substance with phase change and ideal gases)
• distinguish between isentropic and real processes for various engineering systems (turbines, compressors, etc.)
Prerequisites by Topic
• Differential and integral calculus
• Basic physics
Course Topics
