Construction of Process Equipment I (FSI-KKP)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Vítězslav Máša, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚPI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Objective of the course is to provide overview of basic structural requirements of pressure equipment and tanks, their fabrication and assembly. Also to provide theoretical basis for subsequent courses as well as for process equipment design in practice.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Ability to choose materials, structural details and to design basic dimensions of simple pressure equipment and tanks. Application of knowledge in subsequent study in area of structural design as well as in area of residual lifetime calculations of equipment.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of elasticity and strength of structures, mechanics, theory of materials and details of machines.
Course contents:
The course is focused on basics of structural design of process equipment, especially pressure vessels, apparatuses, reactors, tanks and piping systems. It includes material and structural requirements of equipment and its fabrication and assembly methods. There is also introduction to basic theory for strength calculations that are required by standards used in practice.
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
