Reassessment
In accordance with the University's Code of Assessment reassessments are normally set for all courses which do not contribute to the honours classifications. For non honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students, and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions are listed below in this box.
Main Assessment In: December
Are reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? Not applicable for Honours courses
Reassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification. For non Honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for both undergraduate students and grade D3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions for this course are described below.
Course Aims
The aims of this course are to provide the students with an in-depth knowledge of sorption technologies and the knowledge required to study combustion in various systems.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of this course students will be able to:
■ describe the principles of operation of various sorption systems; such as sorption for Carbon Capture Storage, sorption for Thermal Energy Storage, sorption for Hydrogen Storage
■ estimate their performance;
■ derive non-premixed and premixed principles of combustion;
■ analyse combustion performance of various systems.
Minimum Requirement for Award of Credits
Students must attend the degree examination.
