Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have the ability to understand the working principles of thermal engines and heat systems and to solve design and performance problems related to them. He will be able to demonstrate a solid and operational knowledge of principles of thermodynamics in the form of balance equetions, including availability analysis, and of the basic mechanisms of heat transfer (conduction, radiation, convection).
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology.The student must demonstrate the ability to solve, with critical awareness, design and operation problems of thermal systems analogous to the ones introduced in classes.
