ENGR 230 — Thermodynamics I: Laws and Properties
3 cr. This is an introduction to thermodynamics, the science of transferring energy from one place or form to another place or form. Students will learn engineering principles, concepts and approaches to analyze energy systems such as heat pumps, heat engines, co - generation of electricity, and chemical processes involving phase changes (liquid/solid/vapor). More specifically, the following topics will be covered: the zero, first and seco nd laws of thermodynamics; properties and behaviors of pure substances; analysis of thermodynamic systems operating at steady state conditions. Prerequisite(s): MATH-270, PHYS-200 Corequisite(s): none
