Engineering Thermodynamics 2 (U01195)

? Credit Points : 10  ? SCQF Level : 8  ? Acronym : EEL-2-ETTHE

This course provides a basic grounding in the principles and methods of Classical Thermodynamics. It concentrates on: understanding the thermodynamic laws in relation to familiar experience; phase change, ideal gas and flow processes; using sources of data like thermodynamic tables and charts; application of the basic principles to the operation of various engine cycles.
