Objectives of the course

Knowledge:

This course aims to build the foundation for preparing students to get an understanding and work professionally in the area of thermodynamics and related processes. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Describe the theories and concepts regarding thermodynamics & basic of heat transfer.
  • Describe functions and practical usage of thermodynamic processes and related components, e.g. heat pumps, and cooling machines.
  • Apply principles of engineering, basic science and mathematics to model, analyse, design and realize thermodynamics systems, components and processes.  
  • Perform technical calculations on systems as well as components within the technical area, e.g. dimensioning of heat exchangers, the heat factor of a heat pump, and the power consumption of a pump

Skills:  

Students will learn to apply their knowledge in the subject to solve general and specific problems in thermodynamics on a well-founded and understandable way. (LU -M -F 1..5 ) .  

General Competence:  

Students have a basis for assessing how the choice of process equipment and components have an impact on resource use , economics and security . (LU -M -G - 1..2 )


Language of instruction and examination

English

Teaching methods

Lectures, class & home tutorials, laboratory exercises

Assessment

Grade is awarded on the basis of class assignments / laboratory exercises 40% and final written exam 60%. Student must achieve at least 50 % overall to pass the course

A re-sit exam will be arranged for this course.
