The course deals with basic laws and methods of technical thermodynamics:
- state, state variables, equation of state
- Energy balance: 1st principle for closed and open systems
- Entropy balance: 2nd law for closed and open systems
- Equations of state: ideal and real gas
- Circular processes with ideal gas: Carnot, engine processes, gas processes
- Exergy and anergy
The students have a basic understanding of technical thermodynamics. The students
- know and understand basic terms of thermodynamics
- can explain the main theorems of thermodynamics and apply them in a technical context
- can describe ideal and real equations of state and their applicability
- are able to represent comparative processes with ideal gas in state diagrams
- can describe simple processes with ideal gas by means of equations of state and determine environmentally relevant parameters.
