ENS209 — Thermodynamics
Credits: This course introduces the fundamental principles of thermodynamics with a focus on applications relevant to engineering. Students will explore concepts such as energy, work, and heat, as well as the laws of thermodynamics. The course covers topics including the properties of pure substances, thermodynamic cycles, and the analysis of both closed and open systems. Emphasis is placed on practical problem-solving techniques used in engineering fields such as mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering. By the end of the course, students will develop the ability to apply thermodynamic principles to analyze and design energy systems, including power plants, refrigeration systems, and engines.
