ISE3243: Thermodynamics, Molecular and Modern Physics

This Module provides a working knowledge of basic concepts of molecular physics and thermodynamics by restating the definition of system, surrounding, closed and open system, extensive and intensive properties. This course will provide the deep understanding of heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation and calculated the amount of heat energy transferred. The module offers the opportunity to distinguish   the Laws of Thermodynamics and describe their significance and to assess thermodynamic applications using second law of thermodynamics: thermal efficiency and coefficient of performance for heat engine, refrigerators and heat pumps. It further deals with basic concepts in modern physics and basic electronics.
