Carry out an energy balance on a given process.
Calculate the amount of heat transferred and work done to carry out a given process.
Estimate thermodynamic properties either by using equations of state or from charts and tables.
Calculate the change in entropy in a given process.
Determine whether a given process is thermodynamically feasible or not.
Calculate the thermal efficiency for a heat engine cycle.
Calculate the coefficient of performance and determine the heating and cooling load requirements.
Derive general equations for the change in the magnitude of any thermodynamic property of a system in terms of the measurable properties of the system.
