Course description Understand: (i) The connections between the processes of the material systems and the energy exchanges. (ii) The fundamentals of elementary thermodynamics based on the first and the second law. (iii) How the theory of applied thermodynamics can be used to study energy conversions in power, propulsion and industrial processes. (iv) The fundamentals of the transfer of mechanical and thermal energy and radiation in solid and fluid systems applied to real systems, as heat exchangers. Expected Learning Outcomes Be able to: (i) Use the theory of applied thermodynamics to calculate the energy balance of closed and open systems, in steady state and transient processes. (ii) Recognize the principal gas and steam power systems and calculate in the ideal case energy transfers and efficiency. (iii) Know, from a phenomenological point of view the principle types of heat transfer processes, conduction, convection and radiation, and evaluate the quantitative connection between heat fluxes and properties of physical materials. (iv) Evaluate how heat transfer occurs in real devices as heat exchangers. Prerequisites Calculus. Linear algebra. Fundamentals of Differential Equations. Fundamentals of Physics I and II.
