Intended learning outcomes
To broaden as well as deepening understanding in the field of thermodynamics and facilitate training in modeling and problem solving related to engineering thermodynamics.
Course disposition
The course is given in the form of 8 seminars. During these seminars students present thermodynamic theory and various concepts are discussed.
Students can chose to be examined by developing a conference or a journal publication. Each topic project should be reviewed by another student. Presence during the seminar is compulsory.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Applied thermodynamics, or equivalent.
Courses in heat transfer and fluid mechanics (first cycle).
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
Fundamentals of thermodynamics,Claus Borgnakke R.E Sonntag, Seventh Edition, John Wiley and Sons.
Other books may be considered.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- SEM1 - Seminars, 5.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- SEM2 - Seminars, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
Accepted journal or conference paper, approved lecture presentation, passed report and presentation at seminar 6-8 and active participation during all course activities.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
