Detailed description of topics:

Project task will be worked out by a group of 4 students.

Thermodynamic cycles for power generation and refrigeration/heatpumps

  • process diagrams and p,V-, T,s-, h,s-, p,h- diagrams
  • energy flows, efficiency, coefficient of performance
  • comparison theoretical and actual process

Design of combined heat/electricity generation plant:

  • calculation of heat and electricity needs
  • evaluation of different options to meet demands on basis of economic and ecological criteria
  • engineering: determination of type and dimensioning of equipment, process and instrumentation diagrams, control, economic analysis, emissions.

Modelling of and measurements on a diesel engine:

  • modelling of diesel engine as a Seiliger cycle, energy flows, theoretical and actual efficiency
  • determination of instrumentation
  • measurement of heat balance, efficiency, fuel and air consumption and emissions for different types of engine loading e.g. according propeller law or constant speed operation
Course material:
  • Fundamentals of engineering thermodynamics. Moran, M.J. , Shapiro, H.N.
  • Heat transfer. Holman, J.P.
References from literature: in project task description.
Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
For all 3 parts a report has to be provided. The reports are evaluated by the lecturer and will be discussed with the project group.
Goals:
  • ability to apply theory of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer and control engineering
  • ability to design durable systems from an environmental viewpoint
Computer use:
  • a.o. reporting, information acquisition through the www
  • data acquisition, data manipulation
