Course Description
This program is instructed in four main parts. The initial is a review of fundamental thermodynamic concepts (e.g. energy exchange in propulsion and power processes), and also is accompanied by the second law (e.g. reversibility and irreversibility, forgotten work). Following tend to be applications of thermodynamics to engineering systems (e.g. propulsion and energy cycles, thermo chemistry), and additionally the course concludes with basics of temperature transfer (e.g. heat exchange in aerospace devices).
