06-221 Thermodynamics
9 units, Carnegie Mellon University
This course introduces students to the process thermodynamics of single component systems. Topics include equilibrium and thermodynamic state variables heat and work conservation of energy and the first law of thermodynamics entropy balances and the second law of thermodynamics reversibility free energies interconversion of heat and work via engines, refrigeration and power cycles absolute temperature and the third law of thermodynamics equations of state principle of corresponding states thermodynamic property relationships changes of state phase equilibrium and stability in single component systems vapor pressure and phase transition.
