Course Aim:
At the end of this course the students will be well known of the following:
• 1-An introduction to Eng Thermo dynamics.
• 2- The first law of thermodynamics on steady flow devices.
• 3-The properties of the pure substances.
• 4- Closed and open system in engineering thermodynamics.
• 5- Apply the first law of thermodynamics on both closed and open thermal
engineering systems.
• 6-Interactions between heat and work done as both will act as a boundary
phenomena affects the total energy of the thermal engineering systems.
• 7- Apply the first law of thermodynamics on open flow devices (pumps, diffusers,
nozzles,……….).
