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.
See Fisica Tecnica (cod. 72369).
Lectures on the theoretical aspects with working examples and individual tutorials (with the support of informatic aids where needed) corrected in class.
- Basic concepts and definitions, properties and units, concepts and forms of energy, control volumes.
- Properties and phases of pure substance, phase-change processes, property diagrams and table, Ideal gas equation of state.
- Energy exchange classification, conservation of energy and first law of thermodynamics, analysis of energy balance for closed and open systems.
- Formulations of the second law of thermodynamics, reversible and irreversible processes, heat engines and Carnot cycles, entropy.
- Thermodynamic cycles: vapour power systems, gas power systems, refrigeration and heat pumps.

At the end of the classes, during the winter session, it is possible to take the written and oral partial exam on the module. As for the exam procedures for the partial exams, see the ones specified for the full final exam (see sheet 72369 – Fisica Tecnica).
As for the evaluation of partial exams, the same criteria specified for the final exam apply (see sheet 72369 – Fisica Tecnica).
