Engineering thermodynamics

Does this mean that science has done more for Wikipedia than Wikipedia has done for science?
-Thermodynamic properties
-Steam tables
-Phase diagram
Wikiversity MATLAB codes
(external) Ohio steam tables
This page is loose reference page for materials, courses and learning resources related to the subject of engineering thermodynamics. There is an existing portal for thermodynamics here, at Portal:Thermodynamics. This page is more or less a sister page of Thermodynamics. This topic is contained with the School:Engineering, then within the Portal:Mechanical engineering and finally within the Portal:Thermal sciences and fluids.
Courses
[edit | edit source]- Introduction to thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics
- Note: The contents of the the Thermodynamics course should ideally be moved into the Introduction to thermodynamics course area.

Educational level: this is a tertiary (university) resource. |
Learning Resources
[edit | edit source]- Steam tables External links are available for printable steam tables for use by students. We also have a few quizzes and an unfinished MATLAB project to create steam tables.
- The Compressibility factor is an underdeveloped Wikiversity resource tells us the extent to which steam obeys the Ideal gas law.
- The Joule-Thomson effect is under construction, but Wikipedia's Joule-Thomson effect isn't bad. Eventually we want to develop this resource and include it, with wikiquizzes, in a college course.
- Quizzes (We need a lot more. Please contribute because if we had this many we could begin to significantly reduce the cost required to educate engineers.)
- Gallery of images for future use by editors.
External resources
[edit | edit source]- CoolProp CoolProp is an open-source database of fluid and humid air properties. It claims to have been formulated based on the most accurate formulations in open literature, validated against the most accurate data available from the relevant references.
- Thermophysical Properties of Fluid Systems (NIST) is probably the best on the web for making Steam tables at all pressures.
- Wikibooks Engineering Thermodynamics
- LearnChemE screencasts on Thermodynamics
- Engineering Thermodynamics - A Graphical Approach by Israel Urieli
- http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/fluid/ generates large steam tables, but in form difficult to convert into files that can be read by a computer
