| Course Objectives | The aim of the course is to provide students with the knowledge of energy conversion in propulsion and power systems; second law of thermodynamics, reversible and irreversible processes; calculation of irreversibility (exergy analysis) and its relation with work loss; It is aimed to enable students to apply the first and second laws to engineering systems (propulsion systems, gas and steam power cycles). |
| Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
| Course Description | This course will cover the topics of the second law of thermodynamics, reversible and irreversible processes; the calculation of irreversibility (exergy analysis) and its relation with work loss, propulsion, gas and steam power systems within the scope of the first and second law, cycles. |
