Unit 128 Applied thermodynamics<br />
<strong>Level</strong>: 6<br />
Introduction<br />
This unit is about thermodynamics when applied to power and refrigeration systems.<br />
Unit aim<br />
The aim of this unit is to provide the learner with the knowledge and understand<strong>in</strong>g of the<br />
performance and behaviour of thermodynamic power and refrigeration systems and the<br />
component parts of these systems.<br />
Learn<strong>in</strong>g outcomes<br />
There are five learn<strong>in</strong>g outcomes to this unit. The learner will:<br />
1. Apply the work<strong>in</strong>g relationships <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> the behaviour and performance of power and<br />
refrigeration cycles to solve practical problems<br />
2. Solve realistic problems <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g the steady flow of compressible fluids<br />
3. Analyse and solve problems associated with compressors and turb<strong>in</strong>es and gas turb<strong>in</strong>e cycles<br />
4. Analyse and solve problems associated with <strong>in</strong>ternal combustion eng<strong>in</strong>es<br />
5. Apply the fundamental pr<strong>in</strong>ciples of mixtures of gases and vapours and of combustion<br />
processes to solve practical problems<br />
Guided learn<strong>in</strong>g hours<br />
It is recommended that 150 hours should be allocated for this unit of which 90 would be direct<br />
taught hours while the rema<strong>in</strong>der is for laboratory practical work and <strong>in</strong>dependent study. The unit<br />
may be carried out on a full time or part time basis.<br />
Assessment<br />
This unit will be assessed by means of one three hour exam<strong>in</strong>ation paper plus satisfactory<br />
completion of prescribed assignments and laboratory work. The assessments will be carried out<br />
separately.<br />
Learners are expected to have knowledge of science and mathematics needed to solve basic<br />
eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g problems as per the <strong>City</strong> & <strong>Guilds</strong> Advanced Technician <strong>Diploma</strong> 2565 or relevant HND<br />
or other equivalent.<br />
