Thermodynamics is a course that explores the concepts of heat and how it can be converted to power, and covers all aspects of energy and energy transfer including power production, refrigeration and property relation of substances. This course has a history of being labeled as one of tough courses. Therefore, it is a challenge for any lecturer who teaches thermodynamics to convince and make students understand the basics concepts of thermodynamics especially the concepts of entropy and Second Law of Thermodynamics which seems to student as abstract things.

Course Outcomes:-

After going through the course, the student should be able to

CO1: Ability to understand the basic concepts of thermodynamic such as temperature, pressure, system, properties, process, state, cycles and equilibrium.

CO2: Ability to conduct experiments regarding the measurement and calibration of temperatures and pressures in groups.

CO3: Analyzing the thermal efficiencies of heat engines such as Carnot Heat engine and coefficients of performance for refrigerators.

CO4: Ability to define energy transfer through mass, heat and work for closed and control volume systems.

CO5: Ability to apply the first Law of Thermodynamics on closed and control volume systems.

CO6: Ability to apply Second Law of Thermodynamics and entropy concepts.

Skills to be learned:-

• This basic course in thermodynamics will enable the student to understand various thermos-dynamical concepts, principles
