Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers 1

Welcome to Thermodynamics 1, a course that discusses the principles and concepts governing energy, its transformations, and its interaction with matter.

This course begins with an essential introduction to thermodynamics, establishing key definitions, concepts, and the language necessary to understand energy systems.

We will then delve into the properties of pure substances, exploring how materials behave under varying conditions of pressure, temperature, and volume, utilizing property tables and diagrams crucial for engineering analysis.

The heart of the course lies in a rigorous examination of the Laws of Thermodynamics with specific focus on the First and Second laws

Finally, we will apply these fundamental laws to analyze various thermodynamic cycles, such as the Carnot cycle, understanding their efficiency and practical applications in power generation, refrigeration, and other engineering systems.
