Prerequisites

Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Physics

Course Objective

This course is to understand the laws of thermodynamics and their

application in the analysis of chemical and engineering problems and to calculate thermodynamics properties of fluids and fluid mixtures using equation of state.

Course Outcome

Student should be able to identify a system and apply the laws of

thermodynamics and should be able to estimate thermodynamic properties of substances in gas or liquid state
