Learning outcomes
The course introduces the basics of thermomechanics. Basic laws of thermodynamics, circulation of thermal machines, dynamics of vapors and gases and heat transfer are discussed.
Students will learn the basics of thermomechanics theory, they will be able to derive basic relations for expressing processes, relations and dependencies in thermomechanics. They can then apply this knowledge both at the theoretical level and further develop it, and work with them in specific technical applications in practice. The foundation are then be used in further studies, for example in thermal machines, heat engineering, etc.
