Justification :
This course is the first course in a thermo sciences sequence that includes fluid mechanics and heat
transfer. Since thermodynamics is central to all energy conversion and utilization processes, the subject
plays a critical role in the development of technologies required for a sustainable energy future. As
presented to the students, the subject is framed in this context, and connections between its content and
societys needs are made throughout the course. Connections include pollution and carbon
capture/sequestration issues, as well as energy efficiency.
