Energy transfer and management of machinery systems

The course is divided into three main parts:Energy Transfer Systems - features - components and systems:
Hydraulic and pneumatic power transmission (hydraulic oil). Electric power transmission (DC and AC).Mechanical power transmission (rotary and linear movement).Converters between different forms of energy.
Basic hydraulics:The relationship between different energy forms as potential-, pressure-, mechanical-, kinetic-and potential energy.
Hydrostatics. Hydrodynamics: The momentum Equation. Losses from friction, minor losses and pressure drop in small passages.
Control Engineering fundamentals:
Measurement and instrumentation engineering.Logical controls.Controlers
System Engineering principles:Complex systems.Interface and interaction.Modeling and simulation.

* evaluation, selection and designing components for complex machines.¿ assessing / selecting various management and control
General competence:
* good understanding of correct and efficient use of energy.
* understanding that interdisciplinarity is necessary to develop good system solutions.
* ability to see connections between different forms of energy and how they transformed and used.

Lectures, demonstrations and work on assignments individually and project work in groups. Emphasis is placed on practical examples and exercises. Project work in groups of 2-3 students. 
Requirements:
At least 2/3 of the mandatory exercises , for each subject module, shall be approved before the exam.
