Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge about stationary modelling of general thermal cycles and energy systems
• Be able to understand the topology of thermal cycles

Skills

• Be able to use the general theory regarding systematic formulation of conservation equations for simulation of thermal systems and thermal system components
• Be able to evaluate operational parameters in thermal systems operating in steady state
• Be able to design and simulate thermal systems
• Be able to estimate thermal and calorimetric properties in thermal systems

Competences

• Have the ability to use the topic in interdisciplinary collaboration with other fields of research
• Be able to evaluate the best suited methods of analysis in relation to simulation of thermal systems and be able to design and simulate thermal systems
• Be able to analyse the result of simulations of thermal systems

Type of instruction

Lectures supplemented with self-study and/or study circles. Teaching is in English and/or Danish depending on the participation of international students, or if the supervisor is of foreign origin.
