Principles of Thermodynamics

Elowen-Pike is a thermodynamics specialist with a Master's in Mechanical Engineering, focusing on energy-conversion cycles and entropy-production minimization. She has authored comprehensive lecture notes on ideal and real-gas behaviors, phase-change constraints, and exergy analysis. Elowen teaches lab modules on steam-table utilization, engine thermodynamic testing, and refrigeration-cycle performance. She regularly leads simulation workshops using MATLAB and Aspen Plus. Her current research explores thermoelectric-generator integration for waste-heat recovery.
