General Information

Overview

This unit introduces the analysis of thermal energy plants using basic principles of thermodynamics. You will use standard thermodynamics tables to solve fundamental problems relating to flow and non-flow processes. You will apply thermodynamics and energy equations to analyse the performance of thermal energy plants such as heat engines and refrigeration cycles. You are required to communicate effectively regarding technical aspects of thermodynamics, prepare technical and laboratory reports, clearly document technical procedures and problem solutions, and evaluate uncertainties and the results of your work. You are required to develop a capacity to work and communicate ethically and professionally, as individuals and in teams, to investigate and solve problems and present solutions. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities.
