ENGG 3260

This course covers macroscopic thermodynamics and its applications to engineering practice. Topics include properties of pure substances and equilibrium, the First Law of thermodynamics (energy transfer and energy balance in closed and flow systems), the Second Law of thermodynamics and its applications (entropy analysis of closed and flow systems, quantification of irreversibilities and inefficiencies, quality of energy, etc.), thermodynamic cycles and exergy. [Restriction(s): Non-BENG students may take a maximum of 4.00 ENGG credits.] [Department(s): Department of Civil, Environmental, and Water Resources Engineering]
