Learning outcomes: Knowledge The student has knowledge in the field of physics, which includes the basic notions of thermodynamics required to understand reversible and irreversible processes; has knowledge required to describe the thermodynamic states and systems; is familiar with the most important parameters characterizing the thermodynamic fluid and the effects of thermodynamic processes and heat cycles; knows the basic principles of heat loss reduction though barriers; knows and understands the processes of energy transfer and heat exchange applied in engineering installations and structures as well as in household installations. Skills The student can use his/her knowledge of thermodynamics to analyse technical problems; can describe a problem in the field of thermodynamic processes and cycles in heat exchangers; can perform basic thermodynamic calculations related to energy transfer; can calculate heat loss through barriers. Social competencies (attitudes) Knowledge of the basic notions of thermodynamics helps the student to analyse safety-related problems; it can be applied to manage heat energy in both professional and private life and to promote in the society appropriate attitudes and energy-saving solutions; the student understands the importance of energy saving both for the society and for the environment.
