PhD Courses in Denmark

To get a broad insight in advanced topics in thermodynamics as well as a deeper understanding of selected topics. To learn how to plan and conduct a lecture. To improve the ability to communicate and discuss scientific standpoints.

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• Disseminate thermodynamics concepts and laws in a teaching situation
• Describe the concepts entropy and exergy and their use in analyses of thermal energy systems
• Evaluate options for minimizing exergy losses in selected processes
• Analyze chemically reactive systems
• Analyze systems including mass transfer
• Evaluate the choice of equations of state for calculation of fluid properties
• Conduct advanced heat transfer calculations
• Plan and conduct a lecture within the scientific field
• Discuss form and content of a completed lecture
• Use and evaluate different teaching method
• Use adsvanced thermodynamics on a research case
