Description
The lecture is divided into five chapters:
1) Thermodynamic state. State diagrams and state changes. Thermal and caloric equations of state and material properties of ideal and non-ideal gases, incompressible liquids and solids a well as gas-liquid-solid systems of pure substances (steam tables). Mass and energy balances for phase change.
2) State (point) and process (path) variables. Work and heat of reversible iso-processes. Thermodynamic efficiency of reversible cycle processes (Carnot, Joule, ..).
3) Conservation laws for mass momentum and energy in general integral formulation; simple forms for closed and steady open systems derived therefrom. Manifestations of work. First Law of Thermodynamics.
4) Entropy and Second Law of Thermodynamics, TS diagrams, Gibbs' equation, entropy production of irreversible processes, Guoy-Stodola theorem. Maximization of entropy in thermodynamic equilibriation. Thermodynamic potentials. Statistical interpretation of entropy.
5) Exergy balances and irreversible processes. Polytropic state change. Van der Waals gas, Clausius-Clapeyron.

Teaching and learning methods
Adapting the "inverted classroom" approach to teaching, the concepts and methods of thermodynamics are introduced in online available, bespoken and annotated slide casts. In the lecture, these concepts are further discussed based on interactive questions in the Pingo format. In order to deepen the knowledge, a tutorial session is demonstrating the application of the concepts and methods. In small group tutorials, students apply the concepts to solve problems on their own and questions of the students are answered. In addition, students are encouraged to hand in the weekly solved problems for an individual correction. E-tests on the Moodle plattform are completing the module.
