CIV 310 Thermodynamics CA 2023

About this paper

CIV 310: This Thermodynamics tutorial (n2, academic year 2022/2023) for CIV310, from the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, University of Buea, covers work and heat exchanged in reversible and irreversible isothermal expansions of a Van der Waals gas, adiabatic versus isothermal compression of a perfect gas, a three-leg thermodynamic cycle, isothermal compression of a liquid, path-dependence of work and heat between two fixed gas states, and the convergence of stepwise irreversible compression work to the reversible limit.
