Course Objectives
1. To apply the laws of thermodynamics and describe their significance.
2. To provide fundamental knowledge of ideal and real gases.
3. To analyse vapour, gas power cycles and determining properties of gas mixtures.
4. To establish the relationship between commonly measurable properties and the
properties that cannot be measured directly.
