Courses

Thermodynamics 1 (30112)

Abstract:

Fundamental concepts in thermodynamics, pure substance, heat, energy,

work, first law of thermodynamic, heat engines in closed systems, the first law as a rate equation,

enthalpy, the second law of thermodynamic and entropy, reversible process and Carnot heat engine,

thermodynamic cycles in open systems, air cooling-heat pumps.

Thermodynamics 2 (30113)

Abstract:

This course goal is to introduce students to thermodynamic

properties of pure substances and mixtures, and the interdependency of properties

of substances. The applicability of the First Law, Second Law, conservation of mass

and properties of substances in practical engineering systems, including gas mixtures

and power and refrigeration cycles will also be examined. In addition,

basic concepts of air conditioning will be studied while introducing

air-water vapor mixtures basic and the psychrometric diagram.

Fundamentals concepts of combustion reactions, enthalpy of formation

and heat of combustion will also be addressed.

Sustainable Development Seminar (30244)

Abstract:

A unique course of its kind, to be held as a semester course focused on 5 days of study in the Arava. Cooperation of Tel Aviv University, Afeka College and the Eilat Renewable Energy Company located in the southern Arava, which has been operating for a decade for the development of a socio-economic and socio-economic area based on the most significant geographical resource - the sun. The balance of economy-environment, through the macro and micro.

Nuclear Reactor Engineering:Global Arena (62012)

Abstract:

The course examines reactor engineering, advanced technologies, and nuclear energy as a complex system in which engineering, physics, economics, and geopolitics intersect. Students study the operating principles of different reactor types, fission dynamics, operational safety, the nuclear fuel cycle, and the environmental impacts of nuclear energy production. Alongside the technological dimensions, the course addresses proliferation, energy policy, economics, and the integration of nuclear energy into modern electricity systems. Engineering analyses, quantitative calculations, and historical and contemporary case studies are combined to examine the potential role of nuclear energy in the future of global energy systems.
