Osaamistavoitteet
The course aims at understanding the physical foundation of different kinds of energy production technologies, including those of the future. After the course, the student should have a basic understanding of fluid statics and dynamics, as well as the natural laws related with heat and temperature. The student will also learn the laws of thermodynamics and the fundamentals of thermodynamic cycles. A special emphasis is placed on energy production technologies based on these thermodynamic principles. The student will understand the mechanism underlying the production of nuclear energy, as well as the basic structure of most common nuclear reactors. In addition to theoretical studies, the student will learn how to make laboratory exercises related with energy technology. These will include thorough analysis and complete error calculations to the obtained results.

Opetusmuoto / Opetusmenetelmät
The relevant theories of physics, together with associated problems and applications, are studied on a course of lectures. In addition, the student will individually solve a number of given homework exercises. Students will also take part in laboratory measurements. The measurements are done in groups of 3 students.
Arviointikriteerit
Grade 1: The student knows those subjects of the course, which are necessary for the forthcoming studies and working life.
Grade 3: The student is well-abled to utilize the course contents.
Grade 5: The student is able to apply creatively the contents of the course.
Arviointimenetelmät
The assessment is based on an examination, homework exercises and laboratory work. A student must solve at least 25 % of the given homework exercises, and (s)he must complete all the associated experiments in the laboratory of Physics, as well as write two reports on the measurements.
