Describe basic concepts of Thermodynamics. Judge the properties of pure substances system in relative motion with respect to the first one. Formulate the first law of thermodynamics for a closed systems and arrange the change in energy in the closed systems via heat and work transfer. Apply the first law of thermodynamics to the open systems. Assess thermodynamic applications using second law of thermodynamics. Generate mass and energy balance equations for gas-vapor mixtures. Analyse energy changes in chemical reaction using first law of thermodynamic.
