Aim:
The course will provide deeper technical understanding of plants, devices and components for the conversion of energy, as well as the engineering contexts were they are used. After the course the student should be able to:
- Describe the function of and calculate energy conversions related to wind-, water-, steam- and gas turbines
- Do calculations of energy use in a building, and describe technology for heating
- Describe and do calculations of fans and pumps
- Describe and calculate processes related to fuels and combustion
- Describe and suggest equipment for assessment of energy quantities
- Use scientific references
