Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

  • Hydromechanics - hydrostatics, hydrodynamics
  • Turbomachinery – hydraulic and thermal turbomachines
  • One-dimensional heat conduction – conduction, convection, radiation)
  • Combined heat presentation (conduction, convection, radiation)
  • Heat exchangers - types, performance analysis, dimensioning methods

Intended learning outcomes

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

  1. formulate, model and solve problems for technical systems and devices in fluid machinery at a basic level.
  2. formulate, model and solve problems for technical systems and devices in heat transfer at a basic level.
  3. present written solutions to problems in the course field that are stringent and understandable.

For higher grades, the student should furthermore be able to:

4. for grade C: fulfill requirements for grade E and apply calculations on more complex problems in all subareas of the course.

5. for grade A: fulfill requirements for grade C and analyse solutions and assess assumptions and the reasonableness and validity of results for problems in all subareas of the course .

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

The course has continuous assessment. During the course, four optional quizzes are offered (KON1, KON2, KON3, KON4). A Pass grade on a quiz can be credited for the corresponding exam question. A Pass grade on a quiz can be credited for the examination during one (1) year counted from the day the quiz took place. Four passed quizzes (KON1, KON2, KON3, KON4) during one (1) year can be credited as a passed examination.
