CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
The basic laws of thermodynamics and their basic equations. Thermodynamic analysis of thermal and flow equipment. Basic phenomena of heat transfer theory and simple heat transfer calculations.
After completing the course, students will have an overview of the basic ideas and applications of thermodynamic analysis in various fields of technology according to modern research.
Assessment Methods and Criteria
valid for whole curriculum period:
Grade Assessment: The grade for this course will be based on the number of achieved points. You can achieve a maximum of 100 points and the points will be distributed as follows:
Period IV
- Presence in lectures: There are 12 lectures scheduled. No points for presence but highly recommended.
- Learning exercise: There are 6 learning exercises scheduled which are compulsory to attend; five for Thermodynamics and one for Heat Transfer. You will have one week after each exercise to submit a solution via MyCourses, the six submissions will contribute 50% to your grade. An additional consultation session with the instructors is scheduled in the same week the specific learning exercise is given.
Period V
Each student will need to join a group of 3-5 members and learn how to use thermodynamics and heat transfer principles to solve the practical
