Thermodynamics

1. Student can recognize and identify the basic characteristic of thermodynamic processes, identify type of system and matter.
2. Student can indicate processes in system and explain interactions between system and its environment.
3. Student can recognize the ways of heat transfer in real engineering problems.
4. Student can calculate the energy amount in thermodynamic processes and apply the basic energy laws in design of energy engines.
5. Student can use software tools for modeling thermodynamic processes in systems.
6. Student can analyse the theoretical results and relate them with measurements results.
7. Student can interpret and evaluate efficiency of thermodynamic processes and investigate the influence of those processes on environment.
