Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

After a successful course, the student shall

Knowledge and understanding

- display a knowledge of understanding of basic terms and concepts in thermodynamics.
- display a knowledge of heat transfer phenomena in different media (conduction, convection and radiation).
- show familiarity with applications of thermodynamics and heat transfer, which are required in the advanced courses within the product and manufacturing processes.

Skills and abilities

- demonstrate skills in thermodynamic calculations and perform engineering calculations of the heat energy transfer.
- demonstrate the ability to calculate the criteria for the equilibrium of reactions.

Judgement and approach

- demonstrate the ability to choose a method to evaluate basic heat transfer phenomena.
- demonstrate the ability to apply thermodynamic approach to evaluate energy exchange between different systems.
- demonstrate the ability to explain the phenomena in the manufacturing processes and the daily phenomena with the knowledge in thermodynamics and energy transfer.

Contents

The course deals with basic theoretical knowledge in thermodynamics, application of thermodynamics and energy technology.

The course contains the following elements:
- Basic and advanced thermodynamics.
