 Introduction, goals and objectives of this course;  Thermodynamic states and processes, thermodynamic state parameters;  Thermodynamic systems;  Real gas, perfect gas;  First law of thermodynamics;  Perfect gas state transformation;  Second law of thermodynamics;  Exergy and anergy. Entropy. Entropy law. Entropic charts;  Fuels combustion;  Steams and humid air;  Cyclic processes. Carnot cycle. Motor cycle. Generator cycle. Examples of theoretical thermodynamic cycles and their materialisation;  Mass transfer. Examples;  Heat transfer. Examples;  Conclusions and applications in modelling of environmental pollution and in environmental engineering

Teaching methods:

Giving lectures, presenting real case studies, explaining industrial processes based on heat transfer, conversation, exemplification, applying hands-on methods

Learning outcomes:

 usage of basic thermodynamic notions in solving environmental pollution problems;  gaining basic notions for further analysing and designing thermodynamic processes;  good expertise retrieval and systematic knowledge on the basis of deeper insights within the study of environmental pollution and protection subjects.  basic notions for approaching environmentally friendly technologies (with small environmental impact)  Notions needed for analysis and assessment of whole life-cycles of different products

Learning outcomes verification and assessment criteria:

Oral examination – 60%; continuous assessment by preparing reports and delivering results of practical work in the laboratory – 20%; implication in solving problems during seminars – 20 %
