Outline and Purpose of the Course In this course, Thermodynamics 1, the basic laws of thermodynamics are introduced. Also discussed are fundamental items including state changes of ideal and real gases, cycles, flow of gases, phase transformation, free energy, phase equilibrium and the phase rule, single-component phase diagrams, etc.
Course Goals Students will gain an understanding of the meaning and significance of the first and second laws of thermodynamics, fundamental concepts for thermodynamics. Students will also be able to quantitatively deal with changes in thermodynamic quantity that accompany state changes.
Schedule and Contents Introduction to thermodynamics (1class)
History of thermodynamics, introduction of variables and units used in thermodynamics.

The first law of thermodynamics (2classes)
Explanation is provided of definition of heat, Quasi-static process, specific heat, enthalpy, ideal gas.

The second law of thermodynamics (2classes)
Explanation is made of reversible and irreversible process, Ideal cycle, Carnot cycle by ideal gas, introduction of entropy.

Thermal engine (3classes)
Discussion in these classes will include the free expansion/compression of gas, Otto cycle, Brayton cycle, Carnot cycle.

Free energy (3classes)
Explanation is made of free energy, Maxwell equations, Joule-Thompson's experiment.

Phase transformation (2classes)
Explanation is made regarding various items, including phase, first order phase transformation, metastable equilibrium, critical point, second order phase transportation.

Confirmation of extent of student learning (1class)
Confirmation is made, via practice problems and exercises, of the extent that students have learned the contents of this course.

Feedback (1class)
Based on test results, critical reviews will be made of student work.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Written examination
Course Requirements The fundamental calculus as taught by the Institute of Liberal Arts and Science is a prerequisite for this course.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) After each class, students should spend time to review the equations and its derivations and understand the meaning.
