Examination including compulsory elements
Part A: Hand-in exerciseThe course hand-in exercises consist of two separate hand-in exercises. One thermal heat balance in refrigeration system and one thermal heat balance in steam system.
Part B: Laboratory work
The course labororaty work consist of simulator laboratory work, engine laboratory work, stream technology laboratory work and of study visit.
Part C: Written exam
The course ends with a written examination which include the whole course that has passed during lectures, in the course literature, hand-in exercises, practice and laboratory work.
