Course content
The topic will be closely linked to the ongoing research activities. The following subjects are offered:
1. Industrial heating and refrigeration processes in all parts of society.
2. Processing, transport and utilization of natural gas and hydrogen. Multi phase flow. Thermal power production. gas-fired power plants, fuel cells. Safety, environment, economy and management.
3. Combustion processes, industrial burners, boilers and gas turbines, emissions of polluted materials from combustion. Exhaust cleaning. Safety regarding fire and explosion.
4. Turbines for water and wind power. Transport of liquid and gas in pipe systems. Pumps and compressors. Aerodynamics of buildings, transport vessels and sports. Hydraulics, hydraulic control systems for control of various machinery.
5. Energy and Indoor Environment. District heating and other hydronic processes. Energy conservation and energy monitoring. Solar heat utilization.
6. Components, processes and plants regarding refrigeration and food processing. Cooling/freezing, dewatering/drying, heat pumps and environmentally secure working fluids.
Design, construction and commissioning will be handled using detailed mathematical models and software for numerical simulation and experiments.
The specialization topic consists of two subjects (tema), each 3,75 study points. Choice of themes is done in consultation with the responsible teacher of the chosen project work. Further info regarding the subjects and teachers is given by the specialization topic at one of the 4 department groups.
