Overview

Knowledge of the zero law, the triple point of water, the concept of temperature, state equations and Van der Waals' equation. The concept of workpiece and its dependence on the path and the difference between the reversible and non-reversible path, the concept of anthropogenic and its relationship to heat, the identification of some circuits (motors) that convert the work into heat and vice versa.

Intended learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

1. Recognizes the concept of temperature, the zero law and the triple point of water.

2. Shows the equation of state and Van der Waals' equation

3. Explains the concept of work, its dependence on the path, and the difference between the reversible and invertible path.

4. Characterizes the concept of entropy and its relationship to heat.

5. Reads surfaces pressure, volume and temperature.

6. Calculates workpiece and heat capacity.

7. Employs his knowledge of thermal cycles (motors) that convert work into heat and vice versa.

8. Uses the modern technology such as computer, Internet and others.

9. Acquire oral and written communication skills.

Works in a team to solve problems.

Teaching and learning methods

• Lectures.

• Discussion and dialogue.

• Tutorials and exercises.

Methods of assessments

The methods of evaluating students in this course are distributed as follows:

o Semester works (40 marks) are divided as follows:

• First written exam (objective questions and problem) (15 marks).

• Second written exam (objective questions and problem) (15 marks).

• Scientific activities (e.g. weekly tests, reports discussion) (10 marks).

o Final: written exam (60 marks).
