To introduce Food Technology students to the subject of Thermodynamics and in particular to the First Law of Thermodynamics, and to provide some application techniques. On completion of the subject, students should be able to solve problems, which require them to apply:
First Law: Conservation of energy, non-flow and steady-flow energy equations.
Working Fluid: Liquid, vapour, vapour tables and diagrams.
Reversible Processes: Non-flow and steady-flow.
Thermal Systems: First Law treatment of engines, compressors, and refrigeration systems; psychrometry and cooling towers.
