Prerequisite: MTH 1410 and PHY 2010 or PHY 2311 with grades of “C” or better, or permission of instructor

The fundamental laws of thermodynamics are studied. Basic concepts of energy, the thermodynamic system, dimensions and units, and the ideal-gas equation of state are treated. Closed and open systems are studied. Heat engines are introduced. Reversible and irreversible processes are investigated. Credit will be granted for only one prefix: CET or MET.
