ME-251 / 4 crédits

Enseignant: Haussener Sophia

Langue: Anglais


Summary

The course introduces the basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer, and thermodynamic properties of matter and their calculation. The students will master the concepts of heat, mass, and momentum conservation, and apply these concepts to thermodynamic cylces and energy conversion systems.

Content

Keywords

Thermodynamics, energy, matter, cycles

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Compute the thermodynamic properties of a fluid, E2
  • Compute the main thermodynamic transformations of compressible and incompressible fluids, E4
  • Formulate mass, energy, and momentum balances, E1
  • Elaborate on limitations of the main energy conversion technologies, E7
  • Distinguish the main thermodynamic cycles, E5
  • Integrate the concepts of thermodynamic efficiency, E6
