Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, 5 hp

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
