Course specific prerequisites
Knowledge and skills corresponding to the learning outcomes of the following courses:MVE335 Mathematics 1
MVE340 Mathematics 2
Aim
The course aims at providing students with basic knowledge and skills in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, to apply this in an engineering manner in the context of problem solving in subsequent courses with technical oriented applications of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Explain hydrostatics.- Explain and apply Bernoulli¿s equation and the continuity equation.
- Describe laminar and turbulent flow.
- Calculate the pressure drop in pipelines.
- Explain the design of a pipelines
- Explain the working principle for turbo pumps.
- Explain the function and operating conditions for pumps.
- Explain the function and operating conditions for fans.
- Apply the general thermodynamic.
- Calculate the amount of heat and specific heat capacity.
- Explain the second main clause law of thermodynamic.
- Apply heat engines.
- Apply the first main clause law of thermodynamics for closed and open systems.
- Apply the laws for heat transfer.
- Explain the heat exchanger design and dimensioning.
- Calculate the heat transfer in a heat exchanger.

Organisation
- Lectures: including both theory concepts and calculation examples- Tutorials: the students work independently, with opportunities for supervision
- Laboratory Sessions: One laboratory session in fluid mechanics and one in thermodynimcs (heat exchangers) are included. Both labs are carried out in groups, in house Santos. The laboratory sessions are compulsory and the work shall be presented in a written report.
- Simulation Exercises: One exercise in fluid mechanics (pump operation) and one in thermodynimcs (fouling of heat exchangers). Both exercises are carried out independently (with opportunities for supervision) in the engine room simulator. The exercises are compulsory and should be presented in a written report - in groups or individually.
The course includes learning outcomes for the competence STCW A-III/6 (Electro Technical Officer).
