ME 5200 - Advanced Thermodynamics

Prerequisite(s): Prior Mechanical Engineering (or closely related field) coursework.
This course introduces students to principles of energy conversion among different forms, such as heat, work, internal, electrical, and chemical energy. The physical science of heat and temperature, and their relations to energy and work, are analyzed on the basis of the four fundamental thermodynamic laws. These principles are applied to various practical systems, including heat engines, refrigeration cycles, air conditioning, and chemical reacting systems. Credit(s): 3
