Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jan Fiedler, Dr.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to familiare students with the problems of designing the thermal power machines, their calculations and processes which take place in the real machine.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will obtain the knowledge energy sources in the technical practice, their ecological, economic and energetic aspects.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of LZ1, physics and thermodynamics at 2.TU level
Course contents:
The course is related to the "Fundamentals of Power engineering I." course and makes students acquainted with the application of basic physical laws, above all of hydromechanics and thermomechanics, applicable designing and utilization of power machines and equipment. These laws are used to improve the efficiency, operational quality and reliability of these machines and equipment, as well as the technological and material demands. The course is also aimed at incorporating of these machines and equipment into power systems and their control dependingon loading and other conditions.
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.
