Syllabus ESME 401

This document outlines the course description and units for a thermodynamics lecture. The course covers basic concepts of thermodynamics like systems, properties, processes and the three laws of thermodynamics over two units. Unit 1 covers definitions, the first law and applications, and the second law. Unit 2 discusses mechanics of solids like stress, strain and materials, mechanisms and simple machines, and engineering materials. The course totals 48 lectures. Reference books and a list of 7 experiments are also provided.
