Learning Outcomes
1.To find out the physical properties on heat and work. To use the "0" law of thermodynamics for temperature and thermal equilibrium relationship.
2.To relate the phase changes and the properties of substances.
3.To apply the correlations of pressure, temperature and specific volume for gases.
4.To determine and calculate state variables.
5.To define the properties with using the ideal gas equation.
6.To determine the change of states works of the ideal gas.
7.To define the relate cycle, heat and work on closed systems. To calculate the relations between heat and work, and mass and energy balance.
8.To apply the first laws of thermodynamics to closed systems. To apply the first laws of thermodynamics to cycles. To apply the first laws of thermodynamics to opened systems and to do the analysis of system.
9.To define the second laws of thermodynamics, to apply it to the cycle and to calculate the efficiency of cycle. To apply the second laws of thermodynamics to the heat pumps and to calculate the coefficient of performance.
