Thermodynamics is the study of transferring energy. Obtaining energy, transferring energy, and applying energy. So, you can see all sorts of applications of energy transfer around you. And we'll develop skills, and analytical tools that allow us to understand and quantify those systems. So to be very specific, we're going to talk about topics of mass, and energy conservation principles. We'll look at first law analysis, and as they apply to open and closed systems. We'll investigate and define properties that allow us to explore these systems. And we'll look at the behavior and application of specific thermodynamic systems at steady state conditions. So our course objectives are to familiarize you with these basic concepts. The concepts of state relations and conservation principles. We're going to teach you how to quantify the state of simple, pure substances. Including all three phases, solid, liquid and gas phases. I'll teach you how to evaluate energy, work and heat transfer processes. And how those processes interact. We're going to investigate the conservation laws for mass and energy systems. And we'll apply those to example systems so you can have some understanding, particularly for stationary and transportation power sectors. What are the units involved, what are the numbers involved, quantities and scale. And we'll teach you the application of process knowledge to analyze complete systems.
