Thermodynamics Review |
| By the end of this unit, you should be able to: | |
| 1 | Define and
explain physically the following: a. Conservation law b. Energy and internal energy c. Entropy d. Equilibrium state e. Time-reversible and time-irreversible process f. Enthalpy g. Real gas h. Perfect gas, thermally perfect gas and calorically perfect gas i. Adiabatic process j. Isentropic process k. Compressibility and compressible flow |
| 2 | Use the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics to calculate heat transfer, work done and entropy changes in a thermodynamic system. |
| 3 | Use the equation of state and the definition of enthalpy to calculate thermodynamic properties. |
| 4 | Calculate the isothermal and isentropic compressibility of a gas for given conditions. |
