  • Introduction

    None except the admission requirements of the study programme.

  • Recommended preliminary courses

    BIB2720 Organisering av data og informasjon, BIB2730 Metadata i bibliotek.

  • Required preliminary courses

    After completing the course, the student is expected to achieve the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

    Knowledge

    The student has knowledge of

    • the significance of phase diagrams, with a particular focus on the phase diagram of water
    • ideal gas model conditions and different state equations
    • mass and energy balance - 1st law of thermodynamics
    • entropy, exergy and anergy - 2nd law of thermodynamics
    • the differences between reversible and irreversible processes
    • analysis of thermodynamic cycles for heat pumps, including refrigeration cycle and power cycle
    • relative and specific humidity, heating and humidification, cooling and dehumidification, Mollier diagram
    • heat conduction equation (3-dimensional, transient) with boundary and initial condition
    • external and internal forced convection, boundary layer, velocity and temperature profile. Empirical correlations will be used to calculate Nusselt's number
    • natural (free) convection and empirical correlations to calculate Nusselt's numbers
    • heat exchangers, analysis using logarithmic mean temperature difference and effectiveness- NTU method
    • simple radiation physics and thermal radiation between solid surfaces
    • principles for calculating mass transport by diffusion and convection with emphasis on moisture transfer

    Skills

    The student is capable of

    • analyzing thermodynamic properties using tables and state equation
    • analyzing thermodynamic processes using T-v T-s, P-h diagrams, entropy differences for irreversible and reversible processes
    • calculating exergy destruction for the various components of a given system in a given environment
    • calculating the performance of heat pump, Refrigeration cycle and selected power cycles
    • analyzing air-conditioning processes in using Mollier diagram
    • calculating heat conduction in solid elements, for example in walls (heat flow and temperature field)
    • calculating convective heat transfer between solid bodies and liquid for both forced and natural convection
    • calculating heat transfer between hot and cold liquids in heat exchangers
    • calculating heat exchange between solid surfaces by means of thermal radiation

    General competence

    The student is capable of

    • analyze the thermodynamic performance of systems related to heat pumps, refrigeration cycles and selected power cycles
    • critically select appropriate empirical correlations for the convective heat transfer coefficients for calculating the heat exchanger area
    • analyze calculated result
    • communicate with engineers and researchers in topics related to thermodynamics, heat and mass transport
  • Learning outcomes

    5 work requirements, which are individual and/or group-based. All work requirements must be approved in order to be admitted to the exam.

  • Teaching and learning methods

    Individual three hour written exam under supervision.

    The exam grade can be appealed.

    In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral examination may be used instead. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the result cannot be appealed.

  • Course requirements

    Graded scale A-F

  • Assessment

    One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt så lenge regler for kildehenvisning følges.

  • Grading scale

    Gradert skala A-F.

  • Examiners

    Det benyttes en intern og en ekstern sensor til sensurering av besvarelsene. Et uttrekk på minst 25 % av besvarelsene sensureres av to sensorer. Karakterene på de besvarelsene som er vurdert skal danne grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på resten av besvarelsene.
