course aims in Estonian
Aine eesmärk on anda üldteadmised mehaanika ja energeetika erialade bakalaureuseõppe üliõpilastele soojusega seotud nähtustest mehaanikas ja energeetikas ning õpetada termodünaamika ja soojuslevi teoreetilisi aluseid.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to provide general knowlesge on thermal phenomena in the field of mechanical and energy engineering, and to give theoretical knowledge on thermodynamic and heat transfer processes.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Õppeaine läbinud üliõpilane:
- defineerib ja kasutab soojustehnika põhitermineid;
- kirjeldab gaaside ja aurude termodünaamilisi parameetreid ning gaasidega toimuvaid termodünaamilisi põhiprotsesse;
- kirjeldab soojusjõuseadmete ringprotsesse ja analüüsib nende soojuslikku efektiivsust;
- selgitab soojuslevi põhiviise.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course, the student:
- defines and uses thermodynamic terms;
- describes gas and water vapor properties, and has a clear comprehension of common thermodynamic processes;
- describes processes and cycles of thermal power generating units, calculates the efficiency of units;
- explains heat propagation ways.
