ME215: Thermodynamics I and ME305: Thermodynamics II ME215 is sophomore-level course covers the basic concepts of properties of a pure substance, the ideal gas relationships; heat, work and the first law of thermodynamics; heat engines, refrigerators and heat pumps, the second law of thermodynamics and the Carnot Cycle; and the concept of entropy, isentropic processes and isentropic efficiency. Interactive multiple choice questions covering conceptual problems in thermodynamics. Annotations must be turned on to properly view these videos (under YouT.

SimulationsMany simulations now run on a browser. These browser-based simulations are shown with blue letters on their subject pages. The other CDF simulations (shown in green) can be downloaded and used offline with the Wolfram CDF plug-in. Most are also available on the Wolfram Demonstration Project website. Most thermodynamics and kinetics/reactor design simulations have an accompanying screencast showing how to use them. We currently have more than 210 simulations, and we are continuously improving and adding new simulations. Please contact us at learncheme@gmail.com if you identify any problems with the simulations or if you have suggestions for simulations we might prepare. For information about the simulations and their use, go to Wolfram Demonstrations.
