Content
The general objectives of this course are a) to introduce the basic concepts of thermodynamics and, b) to provide guidelines to apply the basic concepts of thermodynamics to practical applications. The student will be able to understand the basic thermal interactions involved in the engineering environment and to size simple thermodynamic systems by mastering the following competencies mentioned in the course content below: I) Fundamentals of thermodynamics: Introduction to thermodynamics: Definition and different forms of Energy Physical properties and state description: equations of state for gases, ideal gases VS real gas. - First law of thermodynamics and application to ideal gases for closed and open systems Second law of thermodynamics: definition of entropy and evolution of system processes, temperature concept, heat engines, refrigerators; and efficiency concept Transformations and thermodynamic cycles. II) Applied thermodynamics: Compressions and expansions of gases Thermal machines: internal combustion engines, combustion processes. Thermal machines: Combustion turbines
