Thermodynamics: basic concepts of thermodynamics; properties of pure substances; energy transfer by heat, work and mass; the first law of thermodynamics; the second law of thermodynamics; entropy, irreversibility and entropy generation; exergy; gas power cycles; vapor and combined power cycles; refrigeration cycles; thermodynamic property relations; phase equilibrium; gas mixtures; gas-vapor mixtures and air-conditioning
Fluid Mechanics: viscosity; basic fluid statics; the Bernoulli equation; fluid kinematics; finite control volume analysis; basic differential analysis of fluid flow; similitude, dimensional analysis, and modelling; viscous flow in pipes; flow over immersed bodies; one-dimensional isentropic compressible flow through nozzles
Grading scale: TH
Assessment: Two written tests, mainly theory; individual problem assignments; laboratory work; and a final written examination on problem-solving. The course mark is determined from a weighted total sum, which consists of the result from the passed written examination including bonus points from approved problem assignments (if given) and the two passed tests. The graduation is determined from a special formula.
