| Objective : | 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 volumes. • Determine exchange of work and heat between system and surroundings. • Analyze 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. |
