The laws of thermodynamics and their application to optimizing performance of thermodynamic systems. Key topics include energy transfer by heat and work, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic properties of pure substances, ideal gases, and gas mixtures. These principles are applied to analyze and evaluate the performance and energy efficiency of ideal and real processes in thermodynamic systems.
