Abbreviation TMC
Course title Thermomechanics
Coordinating department Department of Power Engineering
Course coordinator Ing. Zdeněk Šmída, Ph.D.

Summary

In this course, you will become familiar with the fundamental principles of gas thermodynamics and learn how to analyse and calculate various thermodynamic processes and heat transfer phenomena. We will focus on the practical application of these principles, for example, in heat engines, compressors, and heat exchangers. You will gain essential knowledge of energy transfer and conversion and the possibilities of converting heat into mechanical work. The course will provide you with a solid theoretical foundation applicable to power engineering, the automotive industry, building services, and renewable energy technologies. The learning outcome is the ability to apply the fundamental laws of thermomechanics to the analysis and calculation of thermodynamic processes, heat transfer phenomena, and energy conversions in engineering systems.
