CHE 204 Thermodynamics I

Credit Structure:(4-0)4

Catalog Description:
Concepts of equilibrium, temperature and reversibility. First law and concepts of heat and work; second law and entropy. Equations of state and thermodynamic properties of pure substances. Engineering applications of these principles in the analysis and design of closed and open systems. Thermodynamic analysis of cyclic processes including power generation and refrigeration.

Course Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, the students are expected to:

1.      Have a firm understanding of internal energy, enthalpy and entropy concepts.

2.      Be able to correlate state properties of pure substances using equations for ideal behavior and reported data

3.      Be able to apply mass, energy and entropy balances in the analysis of engineering problems

4.      Be able to estimate thermodynamic properties of real substances using generalized correlations and departure functions

5.      Practice teamwork by forming and working in study groups.

6.      Improve communication skills by submitting concisely and effectively written homework solutions individually or in teams.

7.      Improve communication skills by listening, thinking and talking during the classroom discussion of the course material and in active sessions.

8.      Develop an awareness of the need to engage in life-long learning
