Synopsis:

In the introductory part, the behaviour of real gases and their mixtures is described. The following chapters are devoted to the zeroth and first theorems of thermodynamics and their applications. Detailed attention is then focused on the introduction of internal energy and enthalpy and, in connection with these state functions, the heat of reaction and Hess's law. Other state functions are introduced by definition. Further attention is paid to the expression of the volumetric work of an ideal gas. Due attention is paid to the Carnot cycle and heat engines. The course is then concluded with verbal formulations of the second theorem of thermodynamics.
