Course objective:
The course Engineering Thermodynamics provides students with basic knowledge of engineering thermodynamics and introduces them to basic thermodynamic processes, machines and devices, which will be useful for other chemical engineering subjects in higher years of study as well as for later application in engineering practice.
Course implementation program

2. Basic thermodynamic quantities
3. Thermal quantities of state and energy quantities in thermodynamics
4. Laws of thermodynamics
5. Changes in the state of ideal gases
6. Compression and expansion processes
7. Multistage processes and devices
8. Circular processes
9. Internal combustion engines
10. Gas-turbine processes and plants
11. Thermal properties and changes of real working media
12. Steam processes and plants in power plants and heating plants
13. Cooling processes and devices, Heat pumps
14. Devices and processes for obtaining low temperatures
15. Humid air
