Basic concepts of thermodynamics: temperature, work, heat, internal energy and enthalpy. First law for closed and steady-flow open systems. Thermodynamic properties of pure substances; changes of phase; equation of state. Second law: entropy. Simple power and refrigeration cycles. Introduction to heat transfer: conduction, convection, radiation. Includes: Experiential Learning Activity Prerequisite(s): Second-year status in Engineering. Lectures three hours a week, laboratory and problem analysis three hours a week. [0.5 credits]
