Construction of Process Equipment I. (FSI-KKP)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Vítězslav Máša, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚPI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The course objective is to make students familiar with problems of pressure vessels and storage tanks design so that they could apply them. Students will learn to perceive differences of process equipment sructures from common structures regarding their higher safety requirements.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will learn how to construct simpler process equipment. They will be made familiar with European Union standards for ecological operational safety of process equipment.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of elasticity and strength of structures, mechanics, theory of materials and details of machines.
Course contents:
The course is concerned with the basics of process equipment construction, above all with pressure vessels, equipments, reactors, tanks and pipe systems.
Students are informed about basic structure nodes, ways of manufacture and assembly. A special attention is paid to unified standards of the European Union concerning process equipment construction, cost optimization and marketing aspects of manufacture. Safetz and reliabilitz of designed equipments from the poin of view of the protection of the environment represents an important part of the course.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course-unit credit requirements: Active attendance at seminars is checked. The exam has written and oral parts, students have to prove their evident theoretical and practical knowledge.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Active attendance at seminars is checked. The written report has to be done when training was missed. This report has to be produced for verification.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 3 hrs. optionally                  
    Exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
