Course structure

The course presupposes that the students plan their studies, actively participate in scheduled activities and work independently with the course outside the scheduled time. Lectures and exercises and more support the students in their knowledge acquisition and skills development.

Literature

• Distributed material as well as material and links laid out in CANVAS

Ethical approach *

- In group work, everyone in the group is responsible for the group's work.

- During the examination, each student must honestly report help received and sources used.

At the oral examination, each student must be able to account for the entire task and the entire solution.

Generally

Energy technology consists partly of fluid theory, where the movements of fluids (liquids and gases) are studied, and partly of more pure energy technology, including classical thermodynamics. In connection with the flow section, basic hydrostatics are also treated.

- The course includes a laboratory and an assignment.

- The course ends with an exam, comprising four hours.

Course planning:

- Lectures, assignments, projects and laboratory work

Examination part: Individual exam and group work (Laboratory).

Learning objectives

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

• use energy technology concepts

Language of instruction

Swedish, The course is conducted partly in English (i.e. some parts of the course may be in English):

• The course exam should be provided in Swedish, and all course material should be prepared to serve that purpose.
• Course plans and other legally binding documents must therefore be in Swedish. English versions of legally binding documents such as course plans, educational plans, protocols, etc. should be seen exclusively as translations without legal effect”.

Om du har en funktionsnedsättning kan du få stöd via Funka:

Funka- stöd för studenter med funktionsnedsättningar

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

• LAB1 - Laboration, 1,5 hp, Betygsskala: P, F
• TEN1 - Skriftlig tentamen, 4,5 hp, Betygsskala: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examinator beslutar, baserat på rekommendation från KTH:s samordnare för funktionsnedsättning, om eventuell anpassad examination för studenter med dokumenterad, varaktig funktionsnedsättning.

Examinator får medge annan examinationsform vid omexamination av enstaka studenter.

Implementation:

TEN1

There will be two parts in the final exam;

• Theoretical part, where the questions will be about Energy Technology in industrial production based on lectures and reading materials. For each question, you must write the answer to that question.
• Calculation part, which will be based on the problem assignments. Here you need to calculate answers that are similar to the problem assignments.

TEN 1- Betygskriterier

TEN1 (A, B, C, D, E, FX, F)

- To pass the course (grade E), the student needs to show that the course's learning objectives are met at the basic level (ie Overview) by passing the exam.

For grade D, it is required that the objectives for grade C are predominantly met.

- For the grade C: Meet the requirements for E and show greater breadth (ie with certainty) at the advanced level in their knowledge by passing the exam.

For grade B, it is required that the objectives for grade A are predominantly met.

- For the grade A: Meet the requirements for C and show greater depth (ie with accuracy and great certainty) at the advanced level in their knowledge and through deep understanding and analysis of the questions on the exam.

Rating limits for TEN1 (50 points)

- For grade A : 45.0-50 0 points

- For grade B : 40.0-44.5 points

- For grade C : 35.0-39.5 points

- For grade D : 30.0-34.5 points

- For grade E : 25.0-29.5 points

- For grades Fx : 22.0-24.5 points the possibility of supplementing to grade E.

- For grade F : less than 22.0 points

Note: 

• Notification of the completion of the score Fx is done by personal visits to the examiner within a week after the exam results have been allocated.
• The examiner decides, based on a recommendation from the KTH coordinator of disabilities, if any custom examination for students with documented, lasting disabilities.
• The examiner may allow other examination form at omexamination of individual students.

AIDS for TEN1:

• Calculator,
