Description
Who is the course for?
The aim of the module is to investigate a number of engineering principles which underpin the design and operation of plant engineering systems and equipment.
The focus of the module is to provide knowledge and understanding to support and develop a range of topics associated with plant engineering and a basis for more advanced study. It is envisaged that the content will be used as part of an integrated programme of plant engineering services and management, with the services aspect being applications-orientated and developed through a knowledge of thermofluid principles.
What will I study?

What will I study?
Investigate thermodynamic systems as applied to plant
engineering processes
• evaluate polytropic
processes
• define thermodynamic systems and their properties
• apply the 1st Law of Thermodynamics to thermodynamic systems
• determine the relationships between system constants for a
perfect gas.
Investigate power transmission system elements in
relation to plant engineering equipment
• determine the
torque and power transmitted through gear trains
• determine the maximum power which can be transmitted by means of
a belt and by a friction clutch
Investigate static and dynamic fluid systems with
reference to plant engineering
• determine the
hydrostatic pressure and thrust on immersed surfaces
• determine the centre of pressure on immersed surfaces
• describe viscosity in fluids
• determine head losses in pipeline flow
• assess the impact of a jet of fluid.
Analyse combustion processes associated with plant
engineering.
• derive combustion equations
• determine energy of combustion
• analyse products of combustion.
Assessment Outcomes: At the end of these modules the
student should be able to demonstrate a practical capacity to carry
out the tasks listed to a commercially acceptable standard,
applying principles correctly in context but may not yet have
developed a deep understanding of the theoretical underpinning of
the subject. Optional assessments are included.
