ENGR 321 - Applied Engineering Thermodynamics

(3 credits)

Introduction to the basic principles of thermodynamics. Covers energy transformation, work and heat, ideal and real gases, first and second laws of thermodynamics, and applications to engineering systems including, psychrometry, thermal power systems, refrigeration systems, flow processes including duct flow of compressible fluids in pipes and nozzles; turbines; compression processes. Thermodynamic power cycle analyses and determination of cycle efficiency will be taught. Lecture Prerequisite(s): PHYS 122 Fall
