Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The purpose of this course is to give the student advanced competences within the realm of modelling of physical systems. The course will cover various aspects within mechanical systems, electro-mechanical systems and thermodynamically systems. Students who complete the course will be able to model and design various real-world systems.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

The student should have knowledge about:

• Static and dynamic friction models
• Rigid body kinematics and dynamics
• Analytical mechanics
• Electromechanical energy conversion
• Fundamental laws of thermodynamics
• Kinematics of flow
• Mass, momentum and energy balance
• Gas or compressor dynamics

Skills

• Should be able to formulate models of basic mechanical, electromechanical, and thermodynamic systems.
• Should be able to identify correct modelling methods for basic engineering problem within mechanical, electromechanical, and thermodynamic systems.
• Should be able to identify limitations and application area of physical systems

Competences

• Capable of modeling a physical system with sufficient information level, suitable for solving a given engineering problem
• Capable of applying relevant software tools to simulate physical systems
