Overview
Heat and work processes, the thermodynamic properties of fluids and gases, cyclic and non-cyclic processes, thermodynamic potentials and availability.
This paper presents the basic concepts and foundation theories of thermodynamics. The aims are that students should gain an understanding of fundamental concepts of systems, processes and thermodynamic properties, as well as the first and second laws of thermodynamics. This paper is fundamental for further work in the areas of process engineering, energy conversion and energy efficiency.

- After completing this paper students will be able to:
- Distinguish between state and non-state variables and understand the properties of thermodynamic variables
- Understand the process descriptors adiabatic, isothermal, constant volume, constant pressure, reversible, quasi-static, non-quasi-static, work and heat
- Understand the first and second laws of thermodynamics
- Identify non-flow, steady-flow and unsteady-flow processes and apply the first and second laws in these situations
- Analyse both cyclic and non-cyclic processes by expressing the process constraints in terms of state variables and solve problems of thermodynamics by use of state property tables and diagrams
- Identify reversible and irreversible processes and apply these concepts to the entropy function

Overview
Heat and work processes, the thermodynamic properties of fluids and gases, cyclic and non-cyclic processes, thermodynamic potentials and availability.
This paper presents the basic concepts and foundation theories of engineering thermodynamics, providing students with basic theoretical tools to understand, develop and improve energy conversion and production systems and technologies. The aims are that students should gain a sound understanding of fundamental concepts of systems, processes and thermodynamic properties, as well as the first and second laws of thermodynamics. This paper is fundamental for further work in the areas of process engineering, sustainable energy, energy production and conversion and energy efficiency.
