WeekMondayWednesdayFriday 
1/7 (1) Thermodynamic measurable quantities
Heat, Work and Energy
Units (the SI system)
The Thermodynamic Temperature
The Ideal Gas Equation and other Equations of State
Chapter 1 of text; Ch 5 of Zumdahl

Problem Z5.22; Engel: P1.4 and P1.5 (due Fri 1/11), P1.14 (you have to do this problem), P1.15.  It is quite acceptable to work all problems to 1 significant figure (in fact, I prefer it)
1:2 Internal Energy (Gas in a Box)
The relation of work to energy (no heat loss)
The relation of work and heat to internal energy
A Function of the state of the system (State Function)
Chapter 2 of text; Chapter 9 of Zumdahl. Problems Z9.20;  and P2.1, P2.2. (due Tuesday)
 
1/14 (2) Thermodynamic Cycles (engines).  Tranformations of an ideal gas doing different types of work. Problems, from Zumdahl Ch 9 and Engel Ch 2. 2:2 Finish Ch2, thermodynamic cycles, and processes.  See problems
 
1/21 (3) Holdiay (No Class)
Chapter 3:  Keeping track of U and H as functions of P,V and T.  The Joule and Joule-Thompson experiments.  Problems for Friday.
