Basic fundamental thermodynamics concepts and its application in different scenarios. Introduction to the energy cycles, ideal and real cycles process and their efficiency.

Fundamentals on ideal gas mixture, thermodynamics property relations and introduction to phase and chemical equilibrium

Basic concepts on Statistical Physics such as Boltzmann distribution, Kinetics theory of gases, and emsembles.

Students will be given the fundamental of thermodynamics and its applications to energy industry. Students will be taught to describe, understand and calculate various forms of energy transport and work-producing and work-consuming cyclic processes. The student is to be able to apply the necessary thermodynamics and other general physics in order to understand how we can make the most of our energy resources and use various energy transformation principles.

The students will have an introduction to ideal gas mixtures and the simple models of gases or vapor mixtures. Thermodynamic property relations will be introduced. Their use will be presented with focus on its use for statistical thermodynamics. Introduction to real gas behavior and equations of state for gasses will be presented as well.

Chemical reaction equilibrium will be presented and the students will be taught how to calculate the equilibrium constant and thermodynamic properties at equilibrium conditions. Industrial applications will be presented as well (chemical reactors)

Students will be given an introduction to statistical physics and the implications of its use. The students will be introduce to the statistical behavior and probabilistic analysis of the matter and its properties. Students will faced how microscopic properties affects macroscopic properties of the matter.
