Contents The module provides students with the theoretical foundations of Thermodynamics. The main issues related to civil and environmental engineering applications are treated in depth.
Reference texts - M. Felli: Lezioni di Fisica Tecnica 1: Termodinamica, Macchine, Impianti, Nuova edizione a cura di Francesco Asdrubali, Morlacchi editore, maggio 2004.
- Teaching materials edited by teacher.
Educational objectives Module A of Applied Physics Course analyses from an engineering point of view the main topics of thermodynamics.

Main knowledge acquired will be:
- properties of matter and phase diagrams
- thermodynamic systems
- machines and thermodynamic cycles
- air conditioning plants

The acquired skills will be:
- to be able to read phase diagrams;
- to be able to analyse thermodynamic cycles and define thermodynamic states;
- to be able to apply the studied equations to real case studies;
- to be able to determine thermal loads and to carry out a preliminary sizing of an air conditioning plant.
Prerequisites Knowledge and skills given by Mathematical Analysis and Physics are considered mandatory in order to follow the course with profit.
Teaching methods The course is organized as follows:
- lectures
- exercises
Learning verification modality The course will be followed by a written test and an oral test.

The written test is constituted by:
- an exercise, to which a maximum score of 15 is assigned (Time: 1h);
- two written compositions, to the first one a maximum score of 10 is assigned while to the second one a maximum score of 5 (time: 1h).

The oral test is based on a 30-minute interview aimed at assessing knowledge of the theoretical contents of the course and mastery in using the acquired technical skills. Communication skills will be also evaluated taking into account the proper use of language and exposure quality.
Extended program Teaching Unit: Applied Thermodynamics. Phase diagrams and properties of matter. Law of corresponding states. Thermodynamic open systems: steady flow energy equation. Exergy and exergy efficiency. Cycles thermodynamically equivalent to the Carnot Cycle. Thermodynamic cycles and efficiencies of internal combustion engines (gasoline and diesel), gas turbines, steam engines and refrigeration machinery (saturated vapor compression and absorption). Psychrometric chart and air conditioning.
