ENGR-236 Thermodynamics

3 cr.

This first course in thermodynamics is applicable to all engineering disciplines (and modern society in general) as it deals with energy, and an “energy-balance” approach to problem solving. The first portion is devoted to energy, energy transfer, and physical properties. The first law of thermodynamics (which relates energy to heat and work) and the second law (specifies the direction of certain processes) are then covered in detail.
