ARTH096 is an introductory thermodynamics course in the ARTH (Applied Research & Technology in Engineering) program at Carleton University. The course focuses on the physical and chemical sciences of thermodynamics, including topics such as heat transfer, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and thermodynamic cycles. Students learn to understand and apply the principles of thermodynamics in engineering design, operation, and analysis. The course also introduces techniques for energy conservation and techniques for pollution control. Other topics include combustion and fuel-air cycles, thermodynamic properties, thermodynamic diagrams, and equilibrium.
