Beschreibung: The fundamentals of engineering thermodynamics will be introduced and applied to problems of energy conversion. Contents: Introduction/Motivation, Concepts/Definitions, Properties of a pure substance , Work and Heat, The first Law of Thermodynamics (Cycles, closed systems, open Systems, internal energy and enthalpy) The second law of Thermodynamics(Carnot-Cycle, closed systems, open systems) Entropy and related properties (Gibbs and Helmholtz function) Vapour Power cycles and refrigeration Lernziele: Upon successful completion of this course, students will have gained working knowledge of: Basic properties of thermodynamic systems, processes, and cycles. Understand the properties of pure substances, ideal gases, and be able to calculate unknown properties given known properties or to find them in steam tables. Understand and be capable of calculating important parameters and unknowns in closed systems and control volumes using the first law of thermodynamics. Understand the second law of thermodynamics and be capable of using the law to design systems and machines to perform thermodynamic operations for closed systems and control volumes. Students should gain a good understanding of vapour power cycles. |
