LEARNING OUTCOMES

In the first part of the course provides basic knowledge on applied thermodynamics. Introduced the first and second law of thermodynamics, thermodynamic diagrams for gases and vapors; direct and inverse thermodynamic cycles; .principles of air conditioning.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

On the basis of the objectives indicated above, at the end of the module the student will be able to operate on thermodynamic cycles critically, representing them on the classical diagrams and he will also be able to evaluate and compare the various system solutions and the consequent energy performance.

These objectives will be achieved with theoretical lessons combined with numerical applications carried out during the exercises and the latter representing engineering scenarios present in the activity of the mechanical engineer.

From the hierarchical point of view learning starting from a scale of basic complexity (remembering, understanding) and it will move towards higher complexities such as solving, judging and proposing engineering solutions.

TEACHING METHODS

The course consists in theoretical lectures and numerical practices.
