Aims :

The aim of this course is to specify the fundamentals notions of applied thermodynamics and thermal trasfer. A part of the course concerns heat loss in buildings and the means to reduce it. A final part of the course is dedied to design air conditioning plants.

Topics :

Apllied thermodynamics: thermodynamic processes, state and equilibrium, forms of energy, the first law of thermodynamics, the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, gas power cycles, vapor and combined power cycles, refrigeration cycles. Gas-vapor mixtures: dry and atmospheric air, air conditioning processes, psychrometric chart..
Heat transfer: heat conduction equation, forced and natural convection, radiation heat transfer. Heating and cooling of buildings: human body and thermal comfort, design conditions for heating and cooling, design of air conditioning plants. Electrical plants.
