Thermodynamics ConcepTests

Multiple-choice conceptual questions for use in class with student response systems (clickers)

Software

  • Thermodynamics spreadsheets (Michigan State University): Uses Excel and Peng-Robinson equation of state for single components and mixtures.
  • Polymathplus Solves ODEs, linear equations, and nonlinear equations. Screencasts demonstrating Polymath use can be found here.
  • Chemical Engineering AppSuite HD (University of Alabama): A phone app that contains thermophysical property data, steam tables, a period table, units converters, and equation of state solvers. Available for $0.99 US.
  • Steam tables: spreadsheets with built-in interpolation and screencasts that explain how to use steam tables
