Thermodynamics and Energetics I

This lecture covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics and energetics, focusing on properties of substances like water, specific volume, internal energy, and entropy. It discusses the behavior of different elements in various states, such as liquids, gases, and solids, and how to evaluate their properties using tables and correlations. Special cases for incompressible substances, gases, and liquids are explored, along with examples of evaluating properties for closed systems and real gases. The lecture also delves into specific heat, enthalpy, and compressibility factor for gases, as well as the critical pressure and temperature. Various substances and their properties are analyzed, providing a comprehensive overview of thermodynamics and energetics.
