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.
