About this course

Basic fundamental thermodynamics concepts and its application in different scenarios. Introduction to the energy cycles, ideal and real cycles process and their efficiency.

Learning outcome

Students will be given the fundamentals of thermodynamics and its applications to the energy industry world. Students will be taught to describe, understand and calculate various forms of energy transport and work-producing and work-consuming cyclic processes. The student is to be able to apply the necessary thermodynamics and other general physics in order to understand how we can make the most of our energy resources and use various energy transformation principles.
  • Learning activities
    The lectures will cover main ideas and theories of energy physics and closely related topics, it will give the baisc tools for the student to address different problems and situations. In exercises, the students will solve related problems to the field, using mathematical tools. The concepts in the lecture will serve as guide for adressing the problems.
  • Teaching support
    Students will be able to meet the teacher during one day a week for 2 hours in order to discuss theory or concepts. Problems could also be discussed if there is no other topic to be adressed. The day and time will be given by the teacher at the beginning of the course.
