Title: Identify the chemistry concepts that are key to thermodynamic systems.
Course: Engineering Studies (21002) > Section: Exploring Mathematics and Science Concepts in Engineering Applications

Identification should include

- describing when and how mechanical and electrical energy is converted to thermal energy
- identifying the three ways heat is transferred
- describing heat conductors and insulators and their uses
- solving thermal problems using appropriate units
- identifying direction of heat flow, given differences in temperature
- computing efficiencies.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are some innovative ways to demonstrate the application of temperature difference?
- What are some common endothermic processes?
- What are some common exothermic processes?
- What are some innovative ways to recover and use thermal energy that might otherwise be lost?
- How does a refrigerator work? Home air conditioner? Hair dryer?
- What type of home heating is the most efficient, and what type is the least efficient?
