Introduction to Engineering Thermodynamics

Introduction

This course provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of engineering thermodynamics. It highlights the essential topics such as thermodynamic properties and laws and its application to the design of thermal systems. It is also a useful bridging course for prospective students for the Bachelor of Engineering programmes at NTU and NUS.

Objectives

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:
understand the fundamental definitions and terminologies used in the study of engineering thermodynamics,
use thermodynamics tables to obtain the properties of pure substances, and
Apply the first law of thermodynamics to engineering systems
