Introduction to the structure of thermodynamics, thermodynamics concepts and methods in solving energy conversion problems with classical analysis of basic phenomena of heat transfer, and introduction to the solution methods of heat energy transfer problems in technical practice.

Acquisition of basic knowledge for solving technical problems of thermal energy, thermal processing techniques and design of heating machines and devices, for the assessment of heat transfer, selection and check up of the heat exchangers.

1) Thermodynamic system. Mechanical and thermodynamic axioms: conservation of mass, impulse, the first and second law of thermodynamics. 2) State equations: thermal and caloric equation of substance state (ideal gasses, real gasses – water and water vapor). 3) Processes. Ideal and real processes. Circular processes and thermodynamic efficiency of these processes (right-turn and left-turn steam and gas processes) 4) Heat conduction (conduction), 5) Heat convection (convection), 6) Radiation (heat radiation), 7) Heat transfer with phase transitions (boiling and condensation).

Lectures and auditory practice. Practice accompanies lectures and includes high degree of student independency in solving problems.
