ENGR 2334 - Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics I

Credit Hours: 3
Contact Hours - Lecture: 3
Fundamental concepts of energy and thermodynamics (e.g., temperature, thermodynamic equilibrium, and heat) will be introduced; the course emphasizes techniques in the application of the fundamentals of thermodynamics to various processes as they frequently occur in chemical and bimolecular engineering. Provides the basic skills and tools necessary in designing and analyzing real-life engineering systems. Serves as preparation for other advanced courses in thermodynamics, energy conversion, heat transfer, etc. CIP Code: (1407015210)
Prerequisite: MATH 2415
Student Learning Outcomes
1 - Apply knowledge of math, engineering, and science to perform energy calculations of engineering systems and analyze the feasibility of the processes undergone by the systems. 2 - Describe basic thermodynamic properties and their interrelationships. 3 - Describe basic states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). 4 - Define units of pressure, temperature, density, mass, and moles, SI and English system, and use conversions. 5 - Use thermodynamic tables and diagrams and apply equations of state, such as the Ideal Gas Law. 6 - Distinguish between steady-state and transient processes, open and closed systems. 7 - Describe the meaning of specific volume, enthalpy, and internal energy and how to obtain them from thermodynamic tables and diagrams. 8 - Apply first- and second-law analysis to thermodynamic processes and cycles. 9 - Analyze systems, process feasibility, and efficiency for open and closed systems. 10 - Define the meaning of isentropic processes; obtain entropy from thermodynamic tables and diagrams.
