Course content
The course comprises selected industrial gas processes and energy conversion systems. Introductorily, an overview of important problems and challenges in the Norwegian process industry is given. Thermodynamics of gas processes are covered. Selected applications are treated in more detail including natural gas processing, blue hydrogen production, carbon capture and storage, and power generation processes. The course is taught in close cooperation with relevant Norwegian industry.
Learning outcome
The course provides the student with knowledge about: - The natural gas value chain from well to market. - How to describe central process units and some of the main equipment in the chain. - Mathematical models used in a commercial process simulator and programmed in Python. - Processes for removal of H2S and CO2 from natural gas. - Reforming of natural gas to produce hydrogen. - Gas turbine based power generation, with respect to unit operations involved and system integration. - Fluid flow in turbo machinery; compressors and turbines, as well to understanding how thermal energy is converted to work. - Steam production in Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG). - Operational characteristic of a gas turbine; compressor map, turbine map, choking conditions for pressure determination. - Basic control of gas turbines. - Carbon capture and storage. The course gives the student insight about: - Natural gas processing. - Hydrogen production from natural gas. - Power generation and cogeneration with gas. Skills: The course should enable the student to: - Establish process simulation models for gas processing. - The student shall be able to calculate an off-design and or part-load conditions of a gas turbine. - How to calculate the steam production in HRSGs. General competence: The course should give the student: - Insight in industrial gas processes based on thermodynamics, and heat and mass transfer. Further, the student should develop skills in applying basic theory in solving engineering problems.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and computer exercises with a process simulation tool and programming in Python. The lectures, exercises, and exam are in English.

Further on evaluation
Approved compulsory assignments will be valid for all later exams in the course. You have to pass the assignments in order to take the final exam. A postponed written exam ("kontinuasjonseksamen") can be changed to an oral exam.
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is based on TEP4120 Engineering Thermodynamics 1 and TEP4130 Heat and Mass Transfer.
