Learning Outcomes
Acquire strong basics in general thermodynamics and be able to apply this knowledge to the study of thermal machinery: ability to analyze an installation's operating mode, to write energy balance reports and calculate efficiency. Be able to use technical vocabulary on different driving or receiving machines and know their corresponding outputs.

Content
The application of thermodynamic principles to the study of thermal machinery is taught in masterclasses. Class exercises are performed in the following areas: - Review of fluids and fluids transformations, concept of work and heat, and finally the first and second principle. - Positive displacement compressors, turbo-compressors: description of the main types of machines, the thermodynamic cycle and powers at stake. - Vapor-compression refrigerating units: technology, refrigerants, operating cycle. - Internal combustion engines: Otto and Diesel cycles, efficiency and practical aspects (engine components, combustion, polluting gas emissions) - Gas turbines and turbojet engines Brayton cycle, influence of irreversibility on thermal efficiency. - Steam power plants: Hirn and Rankine study on cycles.
