Course Learning Outcomes:

  1. Calculate energy efficiency changes using re-heating, regeneration, use of open and closed feedwater heaters, and deaerators in vapour power systems (Vapour power).
  2. 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).
  3. Use exergy analysis to calculate energy availability and effectiveness (Exergy).
  4. 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).
  5. Calculate thermodynamic properties of ideal gas mixtures, including gases that contain water vapour and apply the Psychrometric chart (Psychrometrics).
  6. Calculate the energy release from combustible mixtures, including the lower and higher heating values (Combustion).
