EEN-E1030 - Thermodynamics in Energy Technology, Lecture, 13.9.2021-13.12.2021

Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students understand thermodynamic state functions (enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs energy) and how to use these functions to define pahse and chemical equilibrium. Students understands fundamentals of exergy analysis, thermodynamics of solutions, thermodynamics of humid air and real gas theory. 

Students are able to apply fundamental theories of thermodynamics to practical problems related to energy technology.
