Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

The students of this course...

... know the relevant forms of energy.
... are competent to work with energy and power units.
... know the definition and significance of thermodynamically relevant quantities of state (enthalpy and entropy).
... know the fundamental limitations for the conversion of energy to other energy forms.
... are able to apply the fundamental physical-thermodynamic principles to energy conversion chains and can, on this basis, determine efficiency figures for energy conversion processes.
