Objectives |
|
Thermodynamics is the study of treatment of energy transformation and transfer, which is the principle behind every heat engine that has contributed to the development of civilization and the human race.
In this course, students will understand the great contribution and big influence of Thermodynamics to the human life through the study about basic concepts and principles of Thermodynamics and the operation and efficiency of heat engines and machineries based on the application of Thermodynamics. And students will consider in this lecture if the efficiency improvement of heat engines and machineries based on the application of Thermodynamics contributes for survival of human being in the future.

Outline |
|
In this course, students will learn the concepts and principles of thermodynamics, which is generally recognized as so complicate to understand, by relating and comparing with familiar physical and chemical phenomena.
After that, students will also learn the efficiency, operation and cycle of heat engines and machineries and how the heat engines and machineries are used and influence to the human life.
The understanding of the subjects learned in this lecture shall be of help to,the improvement of efficiency and noble usage of heat engines and machineries and to the creation of the new lifestyle of human being in the future.
For these purpose, presentations and discussions are carried out in this lecture.

Requirements (Assignments) |
|
The focus of this series of lectures is that students should be easy to understand and is interesting to all attending members, including ones without the attending to the “thermodynamics” course in the undergraduate school.
It should be reported exercise of subjects and prepared for presentation and discussion.
Also, it is need to prepare and to review, before and after lecture.
