Issue Date: June 2024
This unit applies to the evaluation of performance, efficiency and selection of appropriate thermodynamic plant and equipment across all forms of manufacturing and engineering. It is suitable for Principal Technical Officers and people in equivalent positions working with heat transfer, air conditioning, solar, geo-thermal and other power generation applications involving thermal energy transfer.
Prior experience in the application of scientific principles, evaluation of thermodynamic system components, mathematics and computer techniques is required.
This unit of competency covers the evaluation of performance, efficiency and the selection of appropriate thermodynamic plant and equipment using thermodynamic principles, including the Law of Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as applied to gas cycles and vapour cycles, flow-through nozzles and blade passages, impulse and reaction stages of turbines. It includes generation and transfer of heat energy using solid, liquid and gas mediums and application of software.
