Thermodynamics and heat transfer
Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer (collectively also referred to as thermomechanics) have a tremendous impact on everything around us—from power plants and building heating and air conditioning to body thermoregulation in winter.
In this course, we will learn how to apply theoretical knowledge of thermomechanics to practical problems, such as designing an energy-efficient house or reducing heating costs in an apartment. We will also explore how engineering calculations in this field are performed, both using equations and specialized software.
Additionally, you’ll discover plenty of intriguing (but possibly useless) facts, such as why elephants have big ears and how an umbrella can keep you warm even if it’s not raining. We may even try a few experiments!
Course Topics:
1. Basic thermodynamic quantities and laws
2. The operation of power plants and thermal machines
3. An overview of the energy sector
4. Fundamentals of heat transfer
5. Designing an energy-efficient building, heat pumps, and air conditioning
6. Demonstration of calculations using differential equations and specialized software
