ME 230 Thermodynamics

This course is a general introduction to engineering thermodynamics.  Engineering thermodynamics is the study 
of mechanical and thermal interactions within a system and between systems.  The course will emphasize 
concepts, laws, and problem solving methodology.  The concepts of pure substances, energy, entropy, and 
thermal efficienciesare introduced.  The zeroth, first, and second laws of thermodynamics are presented.  
The student will apply these laws to analyze a class of engineering problems.  Several thermodynamic cycles 
will be studied using the thermodynamic principles.
