Prof. Dr. Recep Taygun GÜRAY
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
1) State the Zeroth, First, and Second Laws of thermodynamics.
2) Express all the concepts needed to state the laws of thermodynamics.
3) Use the laws of thermodynamics to solve a variety of problems, such as the expansion of gases and the efficiency of heat engines.
4) Distinguish the meaning and significance of the variables P, V, T, U, and S in particular, especially in the context of an ideal gas, and to manipulate these variables to solve a variety of thermodynamic problems.
5) Identify a variety of thermodynamic derivatives, including a number of "material properties" such as heat capacity, thermal expansivity, and solve problems in which such derivatives appear.
