Termodinâmica Aplicada

Objectives

To study reactive systems by applying combustion thermodynamics to different types of fuels, chemical reactions, and energy balances, with the goal of characterizing and quantifying energy conversion in processes involving chemical reactions. Evaluate advanced thermodynamic cycles, including steam, gas, organic, and refrigeration systems, based on the fundamental knowledge acquired in Fundamentals of Thermodynamics. Understand the mechanisms of heat transfer — conduction, convection, and radiation — and their relevance in the analysis and performance of real energy conversion systems.
