Overview
Advanced engineering thermodynamics including, thermodynamic potentials, gas mixtures, psychrometry, air conditioning, compressed air processes, refrigeration and power cycles, and combustion, with applications to sustainable energy technologies.
The overall aims are that students will learn to apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics and the thermodynamic potentials to the solution of complex energy systems and be able to carry out quantitative and qualitative analysis of thermodynamic processes. The knowledge and skills developed in this paper are directly relevant to understanding, designing and implementing modern sustainable energy technologies.
