Thermodynamics
- Why do we need to study thermodynamics in biomedical engineering?
- Basic definitions such as: system, control volume, control mass, boundary, density, temperature, pressure, unities
- Pure material, Liquid and vapor equilibrium
- Equilibrium plots for gas-liquid
- P-T plot for 3 states of pure materials
- Work and Heat
- Required math to study analytical thermodynamics
- The first law and its connection to internal energy. Five Postulates introduce internal energy
- The first derivative in Thermodynamics and Legendra transforms
- Maxwell Relations and the 2nd order derivatives
- The first law for a cycle and control mass, Entalpy
- Specific heat at constant volume and pressure, ideal gas, rate in the first law
- The first law for control volume
- Steady state and semi-steady state, equilibrium and semi-equilibrium
- The second law
- Entropy
