Thermodynamics for Engineers
Thermodynamik für Ingenieure
6 CPWinterEN
Contents
Fundamentals and definitions, energy and the first law, properties of pure substances, second law of the thermodynamics, entropy and second law analysis, thermodynamic cycles, heat transfer.
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing the module, students are able to evaluate the properties of real substances, such as steam and ideal gases. They can apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics to analyze processes in both open and closed systems. They distinguish different forms of energy such as work (power) and heat, internal energy and enthalpy. They can describe thermodynamic cycles and processes, in particular, using graphical diagrams such as PV, TV or TS.
Assessment
Prerequisite: • Successful completion of exercise assignments (50% must be reached) Final module examination: • Written examination, 120 min.
