Learning outcomes	The objetive of this UC is to teach the fundamentals of Apllied Thermodynamics for non-reacting systems so that the student may gain an understanding and proficiency on thermodynamics with view to solve practical problems in thermal engineering. At the end of the course the student should be able to: - undertand the basic thermodynamics concepts; - analyze simple processes by applying the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics. - utilize the water vapor tables and the equations of state for ideal gases. - perform energy balances to power (vapor and gas turbine) and refrigeration cycles, and calculate performance parameters. - understand the principles of cogeneration plants and air conditioning. - analyse simple thermodynamics systems.
Syllabus	1. Basic notions of thermodynamics. 2. First law for closed systems. 3. Second law. Entropy. 4. Thermodynamics relations. Ideal gas and incompressible fluid. 5. First law for open systems. 6. Vapour power cycles. 7. Gas turbine cycles. 8. Simple refrigeration cycle. 9. Cogeneration.
