    Course outline

    This course deals with the basic concepts of thermodynamics and combustion relevant to the use
    of renewable energy sources. At the end of the course the students will be able to develop an
    understanding of thermodynamic systems and thermodynamic properties, analyze and evaluate
    energy transfer to and from thermodynamic systems and various thermodynamic cycles used for
    energy production - work and heat, within the natural limits of conversion. Students will also be
    familiarized with the basics of fuels and combustion and combustion process in furnaces, boilers
    and internal combustion engines.

    Evaluation procedure

    Assignments : 20%
    Two Minor Exams : 15% each
    Major Exam : 50%
