ThermodynamicsLaajuus (5 cr)

Code: TE00CM75

Credits

5 op

Objective

The target of the module is to familiarize student to apply thermal physics and thermodynamics to dimensioning thermal machines and processes. After completing the course, student can:
- calculate amount of heat and phase changes in matter and structures
- assess temperature changes in matter by taking heat transfer into account
- determine the state of gas and vapor, and calculate their changes
- determine energy balance
- determine the thermal efficiency of heat engines and power coefficient of heat pump and cooling machine
- evaluate the energy efficiency of common machines.

Content

- pressure, temperature, measurement
- thermal expansion, heat capacity and heat transfer
- ideal gas law
- laws of thermodynamics, energy balance, thermal efficiency
- principles and cycles of heat engines and pumps
- properties of moisturized air, principles of air conditioning.
