2.0 SYNOPSIS

Thermodynamics is commonly encountered in many engineering system. This course

covers the knowledge of science of energy especially the aspect of heat and power
interaction, energy and energy transformation and relationship among the properties
of matter. Student will be equipped with the conservation of energy principle, the
first law and the second law of thermodynamics. Other topics include the properties
of pure substance, application of the first and second law of thermodynamics in open
and closed system, heat engines, entropy, Carnot and Rankine cycles and etc.

3.0 OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. describe the basic principles of thermodynamics related to energy, heat, work and
phase changes processes
2. apply the first law of thermodynamics in energy analysis for closed and open
system
3. apply the second law of thermodynamics in power cycle systems
