Course Learning Outcomes:
- Calculate energy efficiency changes using re-heating, regeneration, use of open and closed feedwater heaters, and deaerators in vapour power systems (Vapour power).
- Calculate energy efficiency changes associated with regenerative heating through use of heat exchangers, reheat and intercooling in gas power systems or Brayton Cycles (Gas power).
- Use exergy analysis to calculate energy availability and effectiveness (Exergy).
- Calculate the coefficients of performances of vapour compression and Brayton refrigeration cycles that use different working fluids with multistage compression and intercooling in refrigeration and heat pump systems (Refrigeration).
- Calculate thermodynamic properties of ideal gas mixtures, including gases that contain water vapour and apply the Psychrometric chart (Psychrometrics).
- Calculate the energy release from combustible mixtures, including the lower and higher heating values (Combustion).
