Engineering 290 - Engineering Thermodynamics

Modern civilization relies profoundly on efficient production, management and consumption of energy. Thermodynamics is the science of energy transformations involving work, heat and the properties of matter. Engineers rely on thermodynamics to assess the feasibility of their designs in a wide variety of fields including chemical processing, pollution control and abatement, power generation, materials science, engine design, construction, refrigeration and microchip processing. Course topics include first and second laws of thermodynamics, power cycles; combustion and refrigeration; phase equilibria; ideal and nonideal mixtures, conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer. Prerequisites: EGR 110; CHM 111 or CHM 118; and MTH 212 (may be concurrent). Restrictions: Engineering majors only. Enrollment limited to 20.

[CE] EGR majors only; Prereq: EGR 110 & MTH 212 (may be concurrent) & (CHM 111/111L or CHM 118/118L)
