Unfortunately, no reservations were found for the realization Thermal physics and technical thermodynamics BI00FC50-3001. It's possible that the reservations have not yet been published or that the realization is intended to be completed independently.

Objective

You recognize the basic phenomena and the most important quantities, units, definitions and laws related to thermal expansion, heat absorption, phase transitions and heat transfer. You are familiar with the laws of thermodynamics.
You are familiar with the basic functions, quantities and terms of thermodynamics. You can interpret diagrams and tables of substances. You can determine the mass and energy balance of the stationary process. You understand the basic types of heat and power plants and different steam and gas circulation processes.
You can apply the concepts to solve engineering problems.
You can study phenomena and determine quantities based on experimental data.
