MAEN4100 Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer Course description

Emnet gir innføring i grunnleggende begreper og modeller i kjemi. Studenten skal tilegne seg ferdigheter til å kunne gjennomføre enkle kjemiske forsøk og skal kunne handtere kjemikalier forskriftsmessig.

Ingen ut over opptakskrav.

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.
• 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

Undervisningen er lagt opp som forelesninger, øvinger og laboratorieundervisning.

Følgende arbeidskrav er obligatorisk og må være godkjent for å fremstille seg til eksamen:

• 7 dagers laboratoriekurs med 7 tilhørende arbeidskrav (5 - 15 sider pr arbeidskrav)
• 4 av 7 obligatoriske øvingsoppgaver (2-4 timer pr øving)

Portfolio exam:

The portfolio consist of:

1.A set of self-produced assignments with a scope that corresponds to earlier school exams in the course.

2.Detailed proposed solutions to the assignments in part 1.

3.A reflection note of experience from the work with the assignments and the proposed solutions.

The exam 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.
