Thermodynamics and heat transfer

This course introduces fundamental thermodynamics and heat transfer concepts needed to analyze thermal systems including ideal gas laws; work and heat; conservation of energy; thermodynamic properties of pure substances; equations of state; applications to open and closed systems; heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. Theory will be complemented with a series of labs that introduce temperature measurement devices and thermal circuit analysis.
