CAE 208/MMAE 320: Thermodynamics (Fall 2023)
CAE 208/MMAE 320 covers basic principles of thermodynamics applied to engineering systems using pure substances and mixtures as working fluids as well as covering direct application of the laws of thermodynamics to analysis of closed and open systems, mass and energy flow.
