Objectives

 

Fundamental concepts and techniques of Thermodynamics will be introduced, together with application and examples.

Students should be able  to deeply understand the processes occurring in thermodynamic systems

At the end of this subject the student should have obtained knowledge, ability and competences in

-the physical processes and the Laws of Thermodynamics, in particular a) heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation b) phase transitions c) thermodynamic cycles for the study of heat engines, heat pumps and refrigerators and the calculation of the respective efficiency when opperating with ideal gases in reversible processes d) experimental study of some of these processes

-the basic physical phenomena and laws of Fluid Dynamics, with applications to ideal fluids

-the laws and applications of Geometrical optics to mirrors and lenses

Prerequisites

Teaching method

The information on the  functioning of the subject will be available in the CLIP, either in the "Avisos"  or in the folders of   "Documentação de apoio", during the teaching semester.

This subject is divided in a theoretic component and a laboratory component. Both components require successful assessment results.

The theory, including problems, is teached twice a week in lectures. The inscription in a given lecture class is required for the students at first inscription in the subject.

The laboratory is teached every two weeks.  The inscription in a given class is mandatory for the students at first inscription in the subject. 

Evaluation method

Continuous assessment of knowledge (see details in portuguese)
