Learning outcome
Knowledge: The course provides the student with knowledge about: - Basic design of Centrifugal pumps, Pelton-, Francis-, Kaplan- and gas-turbines. - Flow conditions and geometrical description of the main components in Centrifugal pumps, Pelton-, Francis-, Kaplan- and gas-turbines. - Cavitation in Francis turbines - Surge and chocking in compressors and gas-turbines. - The course gives the student insight about: - Basic design of Wind turbines, Reversible Pumpturbines, multi-phase pumps and wet gas compressors. - Main components in a Hydro Power Plant and Gas Power Plant.
Skills: The course should enable the student to: - Calculate the main dimensions of hydro- and gas-turbines. - Evaluate which turbine to be used in a Hydro Power Plant or a Gas Power Plant. - Evaluate which pump or compressor to be used in a process-, gas- or a fluid-system.
General competence: The course should give the student: - When the student has finished the course, he/she shall have knowledge about Hydro turbines, Gas turbines, Pumpturbines, Centrifugal pumps and Compressors. - The student will be able to use this knowledge in projects where these turbo machinery is a part of for example a process system or a power plant.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and tutorials. Laboratory tutorial. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. If the teaching is given in English the Examination papers will be given in English only. Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments.

Further on evaluation
For a re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
