The scope and limitations of thermodynamics. Macroscopic approach to energy, work and the First Law. Introduction to statistical thermodynamics and the microscopic description of energy, work and the First Law. The fundamental energy equation. The Second Law of Thermodynamics, principle of increase of entropy, limiting cycle efficiencies, criteria for equilibrium. Thermodynamic potentials. Irreversibility, friction, and availability. Phase equilibrium, phase change, mixtures. The steady flow energy equation and applications. The evaluation of state functions. 3 hours lectures.
