After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• To identify and describe thermodynamic systems.
• Set up and solve equations of state for ideal gases, pure substances, and gas-steam-mixtures.
• Understand and draw state diagrams for ideal gases, pure substances, and gas-steam-mixtures.
• Apply the first law of thermodynamics to thermodynamic systems, e.g. to calculate the energy/energy-flow of a given thermodynamic processes.
• Apply the second law of thermodynamics to thermodynamic systems, e.g. to calculate the entropy/entropy-flow for a given thermodynamic process.
• To identify processes which are frequently occurring in a technical context and calculate corresponding thermodynamic values.
• To calculate energies/energy-flows of simple thermodynamic cycles for thermal engines and cooling units/ heat pumps for different working fluids.
• To identify and interpret simple problems in the field of heat transfer and calculate corresponding thermodynamic values.

• Equations of state for idealized and pure substances

• This course is provided according to the FlippedClassroom concept.
• LectureTube recordings of the contents (theory and calculation examples) will be provided in TUWEL.
• Lecture slides and calculation examples will be provided in TUWEL.
• Worksheets will be provided in TUWEL.
• Homework exercises will be provided in TUWEL
• In the course units, students have the opportunity to receive answers to the questions which have arisen while studying the teaching materials.
• In the course units the current state of knowledge of the students will be evaluated by means of tests.
• Supplementary literature for the course will be named. This is mostly available online.

The performance will be assessed on the basis of the tests performed in the course units. If necessary, participants can also be invited to an oral survey.

Respectable knowledge of the fundamentals of arithmetic, differential, integral calculus, as well as about the physical dimensions and SI units.
Ability to handle Newtonian mechanics, balance of forces, mechanical work, within the scope of easy examples.
