Learning outcome
Knowledge: The course provides the student with knowledge about: - Basic design of Centrifugal pumps, Pelton-, Francis-, Kaplan- and gas-turbines. - Flow conditions and geometrical description of the main components in Centrifugal pumps, Pelton-, Francis-, Kaplan- and gas-turbines. - Cavitation in Francis turbines - Surge and chocking in compressors and gas-turbines. - The course gives the student insight about: - Basic design of Wind turbines, Reversible Pumpturbines, multi-phase pumps and wet gas compressors. - Main components in a Hydro Power Plant and Gas Power Plant.
Skills: The course should enable the student to: - Calculate the main dimensions of hydro- and gas-turbines. - Evaluate which turbine to be used in a Hydro Power Plant or a Gas Power Plant. - Evaluate which pump or compressor to be used in a process-, gas- or a fluid-system.
General competence: The course should give the student: - When the student has finished the course, he/she shall have knowledge about Hydro turbines, Gas turbines, Pumpturbines, Centrifugal pumps and Compressors. - The student will be able to use this knowledge in projects where these turbo machinery is a part of for example a process system or a power plant.
