14873 - Thermodynamics for Engineers Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14873
Module Title:Thermodynamics for Engineers
  Thermodynamik für Ingenieure
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Gorelova, Darya
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students are able to evaluate the properties of real substances, such as steam and ideal gases. They can apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics to analyze processes in both open and closed systems. They distinguish different forms of energy such as work (power) and heat, internal energy and enthalpy. They can describe thermodynamic cycles and processes, in particular, using graphical diagrams such as PV, TV or TS.
Contents:Fundamentals and definitions, energy and the first law, properties of pure substances, second law of the thermodynamics, entropy and second law analysis, thermodynamic cycles, heat transfer.
