Aim

Turbomachinery hold a central role in power production. The course aims at providing an understanding of the turbomachines principles and design methods. Furthermore, the thermo- fluid interaction between the turbomachine parts and the working media will be analysed in great detail. The simple and effective design methods will be taught and an overview of the more advanced techniques will be given.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The examination is carried out individually. There are a few compulsory assignments and a written examination. To pass the course, the student must pass all of the compulsory assignments and the written examination. Grade is distributed based on the written exam.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
