The objective of the first module is the comprehension of the basic physics involved in powertrains:
- Provide the theoretical and analytical bases for understanding basic thermo-fluid dynamic processes within traditional and innovative powertrains.
- Provide methods and instruments for the design powertrain components

Expected results:
Coherently with the SUA-CdS objectives, the expected results are:
- Knowledge of the physical foundations and mathematical instruments useful for understanding the powertrain working principles.(Dublin descriptors 1 and 5)
- Capacity of utilizing the methodologies for the design powertrain components (Dublin descriptors 2 and 3)
