CAD Projection of Heat Transfer Equipment for Processes and Power Systems (FSI-KT0)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Zdeněk Jegla, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚPI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Student will acquire deeper understanding of (thermal-hydraulic) design of process and power equipment (especially design of heat exchangers of various construction types) and existing computer aided design systems; application of software systems for analysis of existing and design of new heat exchangers and related activities will be further presented. Students will in detail learn about possibilities of world recognized professional software systems (HTRI Xchanger Suite, CHEMCAD) and how to work with them.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will learn to use CAD for design and analysis of process and power equipment and related activities; they will further obtain overview of available software and their application for concrete practical tasks.
Prerequisites:
Students have passed Heat Transfer and Hydraulic Processes seminars.
Course contents:
In relation to Heat Transfer seminar, this seminar provides more advanced and profound knowledge on design of process and power equipment for heat exchange, especially knowledge on design, rating and simulation calculation of convection heat exchangers for single-phase and two-phase applications. Seminar presents possibilities of application of particular world recognized professional software systems (HTRI Xchanger Suite, CHEMCAD) on tasks from industrial practice.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught a form of exercise that focuses on practical management of the presented topic.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course is classified as compulsory-facultative seminar; it is not graded. Assessment consists of award of credit. Course-unit credit requirements: compulsory and active participation in seminars and obtaining in sum at least 10 points.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at seminars is compulsory and checked.
Credit will be awarded to students who attend the lessons regularly and actively (regular attendance means attendance at minimum of 75 % of the seminar, i.e. 10 lessons out of total 13).
