This subject is taught in the second year of the Degree that will be taught in the second semester, and together with the subject of Heat Transmission they form the Subject of HEAT ENGINEERING
The objective is to provide students with basic information on Applied Technical Thermodynamics. To do this, concepts such as the thermodynamics of water vapor, energy analysis of combustion systems and energy generation systems using thermal machines and steam and gas turbines will be reviewed. With this information, the student will have a general vision of how to carry out the design of more efficient thermal systems, as well as certain models necessary to obtain qualitative conclusions about the design of thermal power plants for electricity production.
In addition, the fundamentals of industrial refrigeration and the knowledge of refrigeration technology necessary to gain basic experience in the design of refrigeration installations will be provided. And the fundamentals of psychrometrics and air conditioning to gain basic experience in the design of industrial chemical process air conditioning installations.
In this subject, students will study the different behavior of machines that work with vapors (water vapour) from those that work with gases. In this subject they will learn to calculate the enthalpy variations of any transformation that a gas or vapor undergoes.
This subject is related to Thermodynamics, Heat Transmission, Material and Energy Balances and Projects,…
