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.
• Apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems.
• Use computer software, currently ESS (Engineering Equation Solver), to analyze thermodynamic processes.
• Read engineering literature on thermodynamics and energy systems.
• Apply the topics of the lectures to practical problems through project work in groups.
• Learn new topics in thermodynamics, thermal power and energy systems through guided projects.
• Organize project work in small groups.
• Write a professional project report containing the engineering analysis and the solutions of the problems posed in the assignments.
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 modeling and simulation.
Undervisningsform : The pedagogy of the course is “problem-based learning”. Approximately half of the time allocated to the course will be used in guided project work in groups. The course projects will give the students an opportunity to apply basic concepts learned in the class to real-life problems, and to learn new concepts in thermodynamics and modern energy systems that are not covered in the lectures.
There will be introductory and summing up lectures and the students will work in small groups with projects, problem solving, simulations and case studies.
