Termodinâmica Aplicada

It is intended that the students develop the basic knowledge obtained in Physics II in order to be able to understand and analyze the vapour cycles, the gas cycles, the heating and refrigeration cycles, the hygrometric evolutions and the processes of combustion.

More concretely one intends from students to acquire the basic knowledge for the understanding and analysis of these thermodynamic systems and processes. Acquire the knowledge of the equipment used in these installations.

Know to do mass and energy balances involved in these systems and in each one of its components. Design thermodynamically each one of these components.

It is also intended to develop in the students the skills of: seek for information and process it, ability to work autonomously, self learning, problem solving, apply knowledge to new situations.
