b. Course-specific learning outcomes Through fundamentals concepts taught in class plus practices, the student should be able to:
1. Perform an energy balance and evaluate the losses together with the energy deterioration across a thermodynamic transformation involving heat and mechanical work exchanges; 2. To compute and propose a simple model of an engine thermal cycle involving a perfect gas or a vapor, e.g. Rankine cycles, gas turbine cycles, internal combustion engine cycles, or cogeneration; 3. To compute and propose a simple model of a refrigeration cycle, e.g. compressions machines, heat pumps or absorption; |
