 STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

General

Marine engineering, maintenance and repair at the operational level requires the student to explain basic thermodynamic concepts; solve thermodynamic problems of basic marine systems; use steam tables to solve thermodynamic problems; apply thermodynamic principles to components and systems of a typical marine power plant and solve heat transfer and insulation problems in marine systems.

Specific
Students will be able to:

1. Identify thermodynamic terms and principles dealing with heat transfer and work.
2. Investigate constant volume and constant pressure thermodynamic processes.
3. Investigate isothermal, adiabatic, and polytrophic thermodynamic processes.
4. Monitor the performance and maintain efficient operation of reciprocating air compressors.
5. Manage and monitor the combustion process between fuel and air.
6. Monitor the performance and maintain efficient operation of internal combustion (IC) engines.
7. Investigate the heat transfer and insulation effects of marine systems.
8. Monitor the performance and maintain efficient operation of auxiliary steam plants and their components.
9. Monitor the performance and maintain efficient operation of refrigeration plants.
