Objectives:
The aim of the course is to provide the basic methodological and applicative fundamentals of engineering thermodynamics, with special emphasis to energy conversion applications, along with the basic notions of heat transfer. At the end of the course, the student should be able to understand, interpret and use the thermodynamic models necessary for the identification, formulation and solution of problems related to systems and processes characterized by energy interactions. The student should be able to analyze thermal systems, engines, refrigerators and heat pumps and their components, to identify the main characteristics and to make a choice between different options and systems, comparing them in terms of technical, efficiency and economic performance. Furthermore, the student should be able to solve elementary practical problems of heat transfer.
