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.
