Objective
The purpose of the course
You will learn the basics of thermodynamics which are required to understand energy production and energy analysis of control volumes. In addition, you will learn logical problem solving.
Eur-ACE competences
EA-KW: You obtain the basic knowledge of energy balance analysis and flow processes for the field of engineering.
EA-MC: You are able to apply the physical problem solving strategies in other fields of interest.
EA-CT: You will learn to communicate technical information, ideas and solutions in the engineering community.
Learning outcome
After completing this course you are able to identify the basic principles of thermodynamics and solve simple problems regarding thermodynamics of open systems.
Content
The course consists of the following themes
Mass and energy analysis of control volumes, flow work, heat engines, thermal efficiencies, refrigerators, heat pumps, coefficients of performance, perpetual-motion machines, Carnot cycle, entropy, isentropic processes and exergy.
Materials
The course uses videos and pdf lecture material made by the teacher.
The course material is based on the following book:
Y. A. Cengel & M.A. Boles, Thermodynamics, An Engineering Approach (8th edition with SI units) [other editions are okay as well]
Teaching methods
The course uses the flipped classroom method. The students familiarize themselves with the material in advance and the questions arising from the material and exercises are discussed during the teaching sessions.
Exam schedules
The schedule for the exams will be announced during the first lecture.
Student workload
10 h kontaktiopetusta
3 h loppukoe
68 h itsenäistä opiskelua
