TLK2100 The Interpreter's Communicative Competence Course description

Approved laboratory course in KJPE1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry, or corresponding qualifications.

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 how mass and energy balances are balanced in a stationary system
• using the first and second laws of thermodynamics together with mass balances and equilibrium calculations to find the equilibrium composition of a reactor
• setting up and solving an equation system of mass and energy balances for a stationary process with reaction, separation and recirculation
• performing quantitative calculations of mass and energy balances of stationary chemical processes
• performing simple simulations of mass and energy balances of stationary chemical processes
• dimensioning the heat transfer area of a heat exchanger
• calculating the heat/cooling effect and energy consumption of a heat pump or cooling unit
• using energy and mass balances to perform stationary calculations of turbines, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, split systems, mixers, heat pumps, cooling units and reactors.

Skills

The student is capable of:

• performing simple calculations to estimate the energy consumption of different processes using equipment like pumps and compressors
• performing calculations of different types of heat exchangers, both for operational values such as the consumption of cooling/heating agent and for design as size
• independently performing simple tasks with heat exchangers and distilling columns in the laboratory
• handling chemicals, material safety data sheets, assessments and laboratory safety.

General competence

The student:

• is capable of reading and interpreting scientific texts and diagrams in the chemical engineering discipline (both in English and Norwegian)
• is capable of exercising practical discretion and of performing simple calculations to assess results achieved by other chemical engineers
• is capable of explaining the operational principles behind typical equipment and apparatuses in a common chemical processing plant
• is capable of communicating chemical engineering results orally and in writing

Lectures, compulsory exercises and laboratory assignments with reports. Individual work during exercises, group work (2-4 students per group), in connection with laboratory work and report writing.

Exam form: Individual written exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

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

All aids permitted.

Avsluttende vurdering består av følgende eksamen: Individuell semesteroppgave, ca. 3000 ord.

Eksamensoppgave: Til eksamen velger kandidaten et opptak med tilhørende transkripsjon. Se også «Arbeidskrav». Studenten skriver en individuell semesteroppgave om tolking med problemstilling knyttet til det teoretiske pensumet og valgte transkripsjon (empiri). Oppgaven skal leveres innen fastsatt frist ved semesterslutt.

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Dersom semesteroppgaven vurderes til ikke bestått, leveres en omarbeidet versjon til ny/utsatt eksamen.

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt.

Bestått/Ikke bestått

Vurderingskriterier

Bestått: God prestasjon som er tilfredsstillende på de fleste områder. Kandidaten viser kunnskaper om de viktigste områdene i fagfeltet og kan bruke kunnskapen selvstendig. Kandidaten demonstrer forståelse av sentrale deler av fagstoffet. Drøftingen viser at kandidaten kan kombinere kunnskap fra ulike sider av pensum og har personlig grep om stoffet.

Ikke bestått: Prestasjonen tilfredsstiller ikke de faglige minimumskravene. Kandidaten viser ikke tilstrekkelig kunnskap om/forståelse av sentrale sider ved eksamensstoffet. Kandidaten viser både manglende vurderingsevne og selvstendighet. Innholdet i besvarelsen har ikke tilstrekkelig relevans til pensum. Besvarelser med stor grad av avskrift fra andre tekster gir ikke bestått.

The course builds on MEK1000 Mathematics 1000, KJPE1300 General Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry.
