Aim:
The course will provide an engineering perspective of energy conversion, as well as deeper technical understanding of plants, devices and components for the conversion of energy. After the course the student should be able to:
- Describe the function of and calculate energy conversions related to wind turbines and water turbines.
- Describe some power cycles in their working environments, as well as methods to increase the efficiency.
- Describe and calculate processes related to fuels and combustion.
- Describe and calculate processes related to energy in the transport sector.
- Do simple calculations of energy use in a building.
- Analyse, evaluate and suggest engineering technologies for the sustainable use of energy in society.
