    Course aims to present the fundamentals of classical thermodynamics while building an engineering perspective. Aim of course is to lay the groundwork for subsequent studies in such fields as fluid mechanics, thermo machines and heat transfer. Students should be able to: - apply mass, momentum and energy balances (1st law of thermodynamics) in control volumes; - Calculate energy transfer in thermodynamic equipment; - Determine the efficiency of thermal cycles.
