EGR-2320 - Thermodynamics* (3)

Prerequisite: PHY-2200 or PHY-2300
Students learn the law of thermodynamics and use properties of matter to describe states of systems and processes involving heat and work. Students apply the basic laws and thermal properties to perform thermal analyses on idealized cycles related to power plants, heat pumps, refrigeration systems, gas turbines, and reciprocating engines. Mixtures and heat transfer mechanisms are also explored. Some sections of this course may be presented in a web-based format.
