Course content

Thermodynamics for mixtures and mixing processes. Moist air, heating and ventilation. Exergy, irreversibility, exergy analysis. Chemical reactions. Combustion, mass and energy conversion, heating values, flame temperature, exergy and irreversibility. Thermodynamic relations; relations between properities that can be measured (mass, volume, pressure, temperature) and properties that can not be measured (energy, enthalpy, entropy, etc.). Thermodynamic equilibrium; chemical equilibrium, inclomplete combustion, pollutant formation; phase equilibrium.

Learning outcome

The course should give the student insight and a basis for further work on energy-conversion processes and other thermodynamical processes. The student is supposed to determine thermodynamic properties, conduct analyses by using the laws of thermodynamics and use the therory to solve practical, engineering problems.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures. Exercises (individual or in groups). Term Work based on Thermodynamics 1 and 2. A postponed written exam ("kontinuasjonseksamen") can be changed to an oral exam.

Compulsory assignments

• Exercises

Recommended previous knowledge

The course is based on and is a continuation of course TEP4115 Thermodynamic systems/TEP4120 Thermodynamics 1.

Course materials

Moran and Shapiro: Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics, 5th ed. (SI-version), Wiley. Note on phase equilibrium. Note on moist air.
