AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Provide the basic knowledge related to applied thermodynamics , the heat transfer , fluid dynamics and thermodynamic principles of environmental conditioning .

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student should acquire the capability of: resolving simple energy balance for closed systems and control volumes, at steady state conditions; evaluating thermodynamic and thermal properties of simple fluids, such as perfect gasses or homogeneous liquids; describing the basic energy conversion processes; calculating heat flux and heat flow rate in simple geometries and calculating pressure drop in pipes.
