IMEC-2330 Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the first course in a series of four mandatory subjects in the Power Conversion area. This course focuses on the understanding of the first and second laws of thermodynamics for the analysis of basic macroscopic systems. As such, it will focus on the study of power means and the transfer of such power through the frontier of a system, such as heat and work. Furthermore, pure substance properties will be studied and closed and open systems will be analyzed. The course will be complemented with the study of power cycles (Otto cycle, Diesel cycle and Brayton cycle).
