| Course objectives: |
| To achieve an understanding of principles of thermodynamics and to be able to use it in accounting for the bulk behavior of the simple physical systems. |
| Course content and structure: |
| Fundamental concepts. The application of the fundamental laws. The conversion of the chemical and nuclear energy into the mechanical one. The properties of the simple fluids, perfect gas, wet vapour, mixtures of gases, moist air. Open system with steady- flow processes (nozzle and diffuser, turbine and compressor), the mixing process, heat exchange. Cycles, reciprocating engines cycles. The thermodynamics of the heating and the cooling, heat pump and refrigeration cycles. Heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation). |
