Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

After completion of the course the student should:

Knowledge and understanding

- display knowledge of basic terms and concepts in thermodynamics
- display knowledge of thermodynamic laws
- display knowledge of the principles of heat transfer

Skills and abilities

- demonstrate the ability to calculate Gibb's free energy
- demonstrate the ability to calculate heat transfer (Fourier's Law, Newton's Law of Cooling, Stefan-
Boltzmanns Law, etc.)

Judgement and approach

- demonstrate ability to assess equilibrium criteria following mathematical calculations.

Contents

The course addresses basic theoretical knowledge in flow calculations, heat transfer and
thermodynamics related to manufacturing technology and casting.

The course contains the following elements:
- Definition of thermodynamic terms: enthalpy, entropy, Gibb's free energy and phase diagrams
- Thermodynamic laws
- Flow calculations theory: fluid flow, continuity equation, Bernoulli equation, lamellar and
turbulent flow
- Heat transfer: heat conduction, heat convection and heat radiation.
