Introduction
The students are expected to learn basic thermodynamic concepts, the principles for the application of thermal energy, energy analysis and dimensioning methods for power production processes, combustion engines, gas turbines, refrigeration machines and heat pumps.
Required preliminary courses
No requirements over and above the admission requirements.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student is capable of explaining:
- the properties of pure substances, phase equilibrium and equations of state
- the law of energy for closed systems
- the law of energy for open systems with stationary flow
- entropy, changes of state, cycles, reversible and irreversible processes
- circular processes for power production and refrigeration
- Otto, diesel and gas turbine processes
- refrigeration machines
- heat pumps
Skills
The student is:
- capable of carrying out energy analyses, dimensioning simple thermal processes, choosing a work medium and calculating energy utilisation
General competence
The student is:
- capable of applying their knowledge to optimise energy production, rationalise energy consumption and improve the utilisation of renewable energy sources
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures, exercises and project work.
Course requirements
The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:
- Seven individual assignments
- Two lab assignment
Assessment
Individual written exam, 3 hours.
The exam result can be appealed.
In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead.
