Målsætning : To enable the student to apply the Laws of Thermodynamics and relevant equations for the description of energy conversion machines, processes and systems.

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• Understand and use fundamental thermodynamic properties such as internal energy, entropy, enthalpy and exergy.
• Make models of closed and open systems.
• Use tables, diagrams and equations of state to determine thermodynamic state properties.
• Do calculations with the 1st and the 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics for control mass and control systems.
• Determine exchange of work and heat between system and surroundings.
• Analyse the most common thermodynamic processes and cycles (power generation, refrigeration etc.).
• Make simplifications of a real system in order to determine state properties, efficiency and power consumption and production.
• Determine air humidity and describe humidification and dehumidification processes.
• Transform theoretical knowledge to practical problems.
• Use computer software, currently ESS (Engineering Equation Solver), to calculate thermodynamic processes.

Hovedindhold : Thermodynamic properties and laws. Conservation of mass and energy. Control volume and control mass. Phase diagrams and cycles. Power plants, engines, refrigerators and other systems for energy conversion. Efficiency. Exergy. Gas mixtures. General modelling and simulation.
Undervisningsform : The teaching is based on "learning by doing". There will be introductory and summing up lectures. Project work in small groups includes assignments, workshop and lab exercises, computer simulations, use of internet search engines and case studies.
Krævede forudsætninger : Applied mathematics 1 (ME-MAT1)
Relationer : Project 3 and the course Fields and Flows (in the 3rd semester).
Prøveform : Se under bemærkninger
Censur : Ekstern
Bedømmelse : 7-trinsskala
Bemærkninger : Oral individual examination based on a number of course assignments. The final evaluation of each student will be based on an assessment of the presentation of the course assignments and the group report.

This course is closely related to the project in the 3rd semester, and is an integrated part of the study program “Engineering Design & Industrial Innovation” offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is primarily for students enrolled in the program.
