19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of the course is to teach the physical foundations and engineering applications of heat and work relations and energy conversions, which is one of the main areas of interest of engineering. Exergy analysis will be introduced, and the design and analysis of thermal systems will be carried out by using the principles of conservation of mass and energy and the second law of thermodynamics.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	To make advanced thermodynamic analyzes of heat and work generating systems and to analyze the most suitable working conditions by interpreting the results of these analyzes.

Learning Outcomes:

1	To understand the importance of exergy analysis in mechanical engineering,;
2	Establishing mass, energy and exergy balances during exergy analysis applications, ensuring that the use of tables and graphics required for solution in design is learned,;
3	To be able to determine the necessary improvements to operate the system in the most efficient conditions by making energy and exergy analyzes of thermodynamic cycles.;
4	To learn exergy based system performance analysis methods.;
