Lectures

Goal

Mastery of thermodynamic principles and laws, knowledge of methods of thermodynamic analysis and optimization, as well as understanding of the states and state changes of substances involved in energy transformation processes.

Outcome

Ability to conduct thermodynamic analysis of processes and devices.

Theoretical teaching

Thermodynamic systems. Laws of conservation of mass and energy, balances. Second law of thermodynamics: entropy generation in an isolated thermodynamic system, causes of process irreversibility. Exergy balance: dissipation and degradation of energy. Modeling of thermodynamic processes and device operation: physical and mathematical models, influencing parameters, calculation algorithm, performance simulation. Thermodynamic criteria for evaluating processes and device operation: energy and exergy efficiency, entropy increase in an isolated system, irreversibility. Analysis of results: principles and methods of thermodynamic process and device improvement, thermodynamic optimization.

Practical teaching

The laboratory work program is adopted depending on the topic of the doctoral dissertation.

Attendance requirement

Passed undergraduate and master’s examinations in Thermodynamics.
