THERMODYNAMICS
Foundations of Thermodynamics. Mass, energy and entropy balance equations. Work, heat and bulk flow interactions. Simple systems. Homogeneous and heterogeneous states, phases. Thermophysical properties of pure substances. Perfect-gas model and perfect incompressible behaviour.
Applied Thermodynamics. Heat engines, heat pumps and refrigeration units, thermal efficiency and coefficient of performance.
Psychrometry. Thermophysical properties of moist air. Psychrometric chart. Dew-point temperature.
HEAT TRANSFER
Conduction: Fourier law and thermal conductivity. Radiation: Stefan-Boltzmann law, emissivity, electromagnetic spectrum. Convection: Newton law, convective heat transfer coefficient.
