Detailed description of topics:

In wb1120 the First Law and "temperature" are introduced. Now formal Thermodynamics is developed. Starting from the Second Law, "entropy" is introduced. The relations of Helmholtz and differentials for the entropy follow. The caracteristic functions U (internal energy), H (enthalpy), F (Helmholtz free energy) and G (Gibbs free energy) are found, using the method of Legendre. Exergy is introduced and simple exergy analysis are presented. The principles of vapor power systems are discussed. For the analysis of combustion systems the enthalpy of formation, heating values and the electrochemical reaction in fuel cells are presented. Finally the chemical potential and phase equilibrium are introduced. T,S- and H,S-diagrams are demonstrated using processes as, o.a., Rankine, Brayton and Linde. Phase-changes are discussed, leading to the relation of Clausius-Clapeyron. The Third Law gives entropy an absolute value. Finally other than p,V,T-systems (bars, batteries, fuelcells) are discussed.
