DESCRIPTION
Description of contents: programme This is a basic course of thermodynamics and an introduction to heat transfer. The program can be divided in 2 main blocks, one about thermodynamics and another about heat transfer.
FIRST PART (THERMODYNAMICS AND CYCLES): - Review of previous concepts of thermodynamics acquired by the student, thermodynamic properties, T-s diagram of water, incompressible liquid and ideal gas models. - Mass, energy and entropy balance for closed systems. - Mass, energy and entropy balance for open systems. - Equipments under steady state: nozzles, diffusers, pumps, compressors, turbines, open and closed heat exchangers, and valves. - Thermal engines. Carnot cycle. - Rankine cycle. - Brayton cycle. - Internal combustion engines. - Inverse Carnot cycle. Refrigeration cycle.
SECOND PART (HEAT TRANSFER): - Introduction to heat transfer: Fourier's Law, Newton's Law, Stefan-Boltzmann's Law. - One-dimensional steady state conduction with and without heat generation. Plane wall, cyclindrical and spherical geometries. Thermal resistances. - Transient conduction. - Fins: formulation, design and performance analysis. Finned surfaces.
