Course Description

Aims

This course continues the learning in thermodynamics, including topics such as: Analysis and application of energy compression cycles, vapor compression cycles and application to HVAC systems; combustion and/or compressible gas flow in conduits (adiabatic and isothermal). Students will examine the various implications of the laws of thermodynamics in complex systems relevant to mechanical engineering.

Course Coverage
