This course provides an introduction to engineering thermodynamics, emphasizing the vital importance of energy generation and efficiency from a multi-disciplinary perspective. State descriptions of pure substances and mixtures. Control volume analysis and conservation principles applied to systems with respect to mass, energy, and entropy with applications to power, refrigeration, chemically reacting and other energy conversion systems. Introduces a common problem-solving approach and processes to address real, open ended problems and creative application of theory. Both analytical and computer solutions of engineering thermodynamics problems are emphasized. This course is part of the Integrated Engineering Core for all engineering students. Prerequisite(s): MTH 168.
