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:
The lectures are aimed at teaching basic concepts
of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. They provide an elementary introduction to the
theory of heat engines and fluid machinary. |
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. |
