Thermal processes

Description: The discipline is intended for master's degree students studying technical sciences. As part of this course, undergraduates study thermal processes in depth, their features in various systems and devices. They get acquainted with the principles of heat transfer, thermal conductivity, thermal processes in turbomachines and heat pumps, as well as gain skills in calculating, modeling and optimizing thermal systems. The discipline helps undergraduates develop an understanding of thermal phenomena and their role in various technical systems, which allows them to successfully apply their knowledge in professional activities.

Amount of credits: 6

Course Workload:

Component: Component by selection

Cycle: Profiling disciplines

Goal

• The discipline will help students gain a deep understanding of thermodynamic processes in the processes accompanying metal cutting. The processes of heat generation and its removal in real conditions. Students will study the principles of thermal processes occurring in real conditions and in everyday life.

Objective

• 1. Understand the basic principles of thermodynamics. 2. Get an idea of the basics of heat propagation using a conductive mechanism, convection and radiation, as well as equations describing these processes. 3. Learn how to solve thermodynamic problems by applying the fundamental principles of thermodynamics. 4. Analyze the thermodynamic mechanisms of processes occurring in real life in order to understand ways to improve the process. 5. To understand and explain the role of thermodynamics and its contribution to the organization of a renewable environment.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• The discipline will help the undergraduate to deeply understand the physical foundations of production processes.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• The discipline will allow you to form judgments about the processes of heat transfer in solids and the environments surrounding these bodies

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• The ability to communicate effectively, avoid misunderstandings and conflicts, find solutions to difficult issues faster and work more productively

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• Communication skills, leadership qualities, the ability to learn, motivation to study, the ability to think creatively and outside the box

Teaching methods

Dual education - the connection between theoretical training and practical skills in production

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
