THERMODYNAMICS AND FLUID DYNAMICS APPLIED TO MACHINES ANALYZES FLUID MOTION AND ENERGY PROCESSES OF SYSTEMS. AIM OF THE THERMODYNAMICS AND FLUID DYNAMICS APPLIED TO MACHINES IS TO GIVE TO THE STUDENTS METHODOLOGIES THAT MOVING FROM THE SCIENTIFIC CONTENT OF THERMODYNAMICS AND FLUID-DYNAMICS LEAD TO ENGINEERING TOOLS THAT ARE USED TO DESCRIBE PROCESSES INVOLVING CHANGES IN PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY INTO WORK AND HEAT, AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HEAT AND WORK. SUCH ENGINEERING TOOLS ARE GENERAL BECAUSE NO HYPOTHESES MADE CONCERNING THE STRUCTURE AND TYPE OF PROBLEM THE ENERGY PROCESSES THAT CONVERT HEAT FROM AVAILABLE ENERGY SOURCES, SUCH AS CHEMICAL FUELS, INTO WORK ARE THE MAJOR CONCERN OF THIS COURSE THAT CONSISTS OF A NUMBER OF ANALYTICAL AND THEORETICAL METHODS WHICH MAY BE APPLIED TO MACHINES TO INDUSTRIAL POWER, HEATING AND COOLING (REFRIGERATION) SYSTEMS.
