Thermodynamics and heat transfer: Mathematical formulation and analytic solution, 5 credits

The course addresses thermodunamics and basic heat transfer with mathematical formulation and analytical solution. It will give a good understanding of the physics underlying the studied phenomena, and training on problem formulation, modelling and analytical solving, and results discussion. The course covers following:

• Basic concepts of thermodynamics
• Properties of substances including in two-phase regions
• Steady and transient heat conduction
• Natural and forced convection
• Radiation heat transfer
• First law of thermodynamics for open and closed systems
• Second law of thermodynamics - Application in cyclic processes
