Learning Outcomes

The student will become familiar with the most important quantities and units related with the study of heat. The student will learn the basic relationships between the quantities, described by the laws of nature. After the course, the student will know how to solve practical problems related with thermal expansion, thermal energy, heat capacity and heat transfer. The student will understand technical phenomena related with the study of heat, as well as their applications. The course will introduce the student to the most important laws of thermodynamics and to the thermodynamic cycles so that they will understand the principles of internal combustion engines and heat engines. In addition to theoretical studies, the student will learn to make laboratory experiments related with the contents of the course. These will include thorough analysis of the measured values and, occasionally, complete error calculation.

Student's Workload

81 h, including 30 h of contact studies.
