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-power turbines.
- Describe some power cycles in their working environments, as well as methods to calculate the efficiency.
- Describe and perform calculation on energy-transport processes and combustion processes.
- Analyse and evaluate engineering technologies for energy transport and production to fulfill society needs.
