| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students are able to perform thermo-fluiddynamic calculations for different sustainable energy systems (e.g. water turbines, wind turbines, heat pumps).
|
|
| Skills |
Knowledge |
Specifically, they can
- explain the basic design and functional principles of water and wind turbines (K2)
- perform basic calculations regarding water and wind turbines (K4,5,6)
- descripe thermo-fluid dynamic aspects of further methods of sustainable energy gerneration (K4,5,6)
- perform calculations of typical therodynamic cycles of sustainable energy gerneration systems (K3,4,5)
|
Different sustainable energy systems are considered with a focus on thermo-fluid dynamic aspects
- water turbines
- wind turbines
- wave and tidal power plants and further examples
- thermodynamic cycles of sustainable energy systems, e.g. heat pumps, Stirling engines, Rankine process
