Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge about the structure and design of flow machinery
or other thermal system components used in thermal energy systems
on a detailed component level
- Have knowledge about the thermomechanical limitations due to
dynamic effects of these systems on a detailed component level
- Be able to understand scientific methods and theories in
relation to the theme of the semester and be able to see the
project in a larger whole
- Have knowledge about the environmental conditions related to
these technologies
Skills
- Be able to perform analyses related to thermal flow systems or
other thermal system components
- Have attained experience with laboratory work or by using real
measured data series related to machinery or other thermal system
components
- Be able to analyse and evaluate the found results from
simulations and data from laboratory work or from the scientific
literature related to flow machinery or other thermal system
components
Competences
- Be able to handle complex development oriented situations in
study og work situations within the energy technical area with
particular focus on thermal systems
- Have the ability to take part in professional and
interdisciplinary work with a professional approach within the
energy technical area
- Be able to identify own learning needs and structure learning
in different environments in energy engineering
- Have attained the ability to transfer academic knowledge and
skills within thermal processes to a practical problem and process
the problem
Type of instruction
Problem based and project organised work in groups with focus on
self-critical reflection and proactive participation. The project
may be discipline-oriented, interdisciplinary or part of a
multidisciplinary project depending on project choice.
