    1. Introductory concepts and definitions. 2. Energy and the First Law of thermodynamics. 3. Properties of a pure, simple compressible substance. 4. Control volume energy analysis. 5. Second Law of thermodynamics. 6. (section 6.7) Processes at constant entropy. 9. (sections 9.1 - 9.11) Gas power systems: Otto, Diesel, Brayton, Stirling, Gas Turbine, Compressor.

  • Fluid Mechanics 1 (book: Fox and McDonald):
         Definition and properties of a fluid, Fluid statics, Conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy with examples

Course material:

  • M.J. Moran, H.N. Shapiro, Fundamentals of engineering thermodynamics, 2-nd ed. (SI version), Wiley, 1993.

  • F. White Fluid Mechanics

References from literature:

Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
The examination consists of 24 multiple choice questions (theory and simple problems) and 2 open problems (1 thermodynamical, 1 fluid mechanical problem). Multiple choice and open questions weigh 50% each.

Goals:
Stromingsleer

  • Reproduce & explain fluid mechanic quantities (pressure, velocity, mass and volume flow, momentum, energy flow etc) including Archimedes law
  • Apply conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy to model given fluid mechanic situations and justify basic assumptions (pressure distribution, constant velocity areas, etc)
  • Discern between and understand the properties of different flow regimes (incompressible/compressible, laminar/turbulent, viscous/inviscid, subsonic/supersonic, 2D/3D, Newtonian/Non-Newtonian)
  • Apply the laws of heat transfer to simple situations

 Thermodynamica

  • Reproduce & explain definitions of thermodynamic quantities (heat, temp, work, entropy, pressure, etc) & 1st/2nd  thermodynamics laws
  • Apply conservation laws for mass & energy to model given thermodynamic situations and justify basic assumptions (adiabatic, isentropic, isothermal etc)
  • Analyse the thermodynamic processes in a combustion engine (Otto, Diesel, Brayton, Stirling) and gas turbine
  • Analyse the thermodynamic processes in phase transitions (vaporization, condensation)
  • Quantify the heat transfer in heat exchangers

Computer use:
There is software accompanying with the books for demonstration and exercises. This software has been installed on the computers in the PC-room of the Faculty.
