Thermodynamics I
Undergraduate course, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Isfahan University of Technology, 2019
Thermodynamics I is a core undergraduate course that introduces the fundamental laws and principles governing energy, heat, and work in engineering systems. Topics covered include the first and second laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic properties of pure substances, energy conversion, and the analysis of closed and open systems.
Responsibilities
- Delivered structured weekly lectures and interactive problem-solving sessions.
- Prepared assignments and exams focused on analytical and conceptual understanding.
- Guided students through challenging topics such as entropy, efficiency, and energy balances.
- Supported students through office hours and email-based consultation.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the course, students were expected to:
- Understand and apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
- Analyze thermodynamic systems involving heat engines, refrigerators, and heat pumps.
- Use property tables and thermodynamic charts to solve engineering problems.
- Develop a solid foundation for advanced courses in energy systems and heat transfer.
