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.


How will the course be delivered?

The course runs for a maximum of 1 week – 9am until 7pm.
