TMMV45 Energy Technology, ECTS-points
/ENERGITEKNIK, M och I/

Advancement level:
C

Aim:
The course will provide basic knowledge of energy technology, as well as examples of technological applications within various fields. Further, an overview is provided of the structure and design of power and thermo-technical plants as well as the machinery and equipment found there. Another objective of the course is to create understanding of the factors influencing the design of the energy systems ("boundary conditions").

Prerequisites:
Analysis, Algebra, Classical physics and Engineering mechanics

Supplementary courses:
Science of motion and heat transfer, Aerodynamics, Applied science of motion and heat transfer, Aircraft engines, Hydraulic servo systems, Hydromechanical servo transmissions, Fluid Power System Design, Transmissions and Tribology, Renewable Energy, Simulation of Complex Energy Systems, Industrial Energy Systems.

Course organization:
The allotted course time is divided into five main sections: I Applied thermodynamics II Science of Motion III Heat Transfer IV Energy Supply and Distribution V Energy Consumption
