THERMODYNAMICS: kinetic theory of gases,
first law of thermodynamics, entropy and second law of thermodynamics, thermodynamic functions, thermodynamic equilibrium of the system, heat transfer, heat engines, thermal expansion of solids and liquids
Course is carried out on study programme
Electrical engineering 1st level
Objectives and competences
– to acquire a general education in technical and natural sciences
– to gain better understanding of theoretical and experimental methods in natural and technical sciences.
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures, tutorials, demonstrative experiments during lectures and lectures of visiting professors from abroad.
Intended learning outcomes
Successful completion of the course will provide the students with:
– education in fundamental mechanics and thermodynamics, preparing them for a future as problem solvers or researchers in industry and in research institutes
– a good basic education in mechanics and thermodynamics suitable for a career in high-technology industry.
After completion of the course the students should be able to/of:
-use the basic theoretical tools of mechanics and thermodynamics that are needed for the more specialised courses in electrical engineering,
-application of the basic laws of mechanics and thermodynamics to solve general problems in electrical engineering,
– solve practical problems in engineering , which prepare the students for independent research and development work in reserach institutes and
in the industry ,
– solve complex interdisciplinary engineering problems, requiring a knowledge and understanding of thermodynamics and mechanics, as well as experience with analytical tools from the field of physics.
