Fossil-fueled civilization

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

I'll be teaching an undergraduate course on engineering thermodynamics.  We will use the textbook by Cengel and Boles.  I will supplement the textbook using my own notes on thermodynamics.  Teaching this course will give me an opportunity to revise these notes and add new pieces. Here are notes for the opening lecture.
