EGN 323 - Thermodynamics

3 credits
Prerequisite(s): PHY 221  or consent of the instructor
In this course, students will learn classical engineering thermodynamics and how it applies to both inanimate and animate systems. Topics covered will include energy, entropy, exergy, and enthalpy. The relationship of energy to The First Law of Thermodynamics, and entropy to the Second Laws will be investigated. Matter will be described in terms of equations of state, ideal gas law, and psychrometry. Power systems will be introduced, and students will learn to perform control volume analysis and exergy analysis.
