The course deals with thermodynamic properties of pure substances, ideal and real gases and the study and application of the laws of thermodynamics in the analysis of processes and cycles; introduction to vapor and gas cycles.
This course supports SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy and SDG 13: Climate Action by providing foundational knowledge of thermodynamic principles essential to the analysis and development of efficient energy systems. Through the study of energy conversion processes, vapor and gas cycles, and the behavior of ideal and real gases, the course equips students with the tools to innovate and optimize energy technologies that reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable energy use.
This laboratory course provides hands-on and simulation-based verification of the principles and theorems covered in the Electrical Circuits 1 lecture. It encompasses the practical application of voltage and current laws, nodal and mesh analysis, and network theorems to construct, measure, and evaluate DC and AC electrical networks. Students will utilize standard electrical measuring instruments, breadboards, and computer-aided circuit analysis software to investigate the physical characteristics of energy-storing elements, analyze the transient and steady-state responses of RL, RC, and RLC circuits, and perform sinusoidal steady-state measurements in the frequency domain.
