After passing the course, students will have the following learning outcomes:

Knowledge and understanding:

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.

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.  

Competence:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

• Describe the theories and concepts regarding thermodynamics & basics of heat transfer.
• Describe functions and usage of thermodynamic processes and related components, e.g. heat pumps.
• 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.

The date for the exam can be changed. The final date will be announced at your faculty early in May and early in November.
