Fundamentals of Power Engineering II (FSI-LZ2)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: Ing. Petr Kracík, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with common design features of various volumetric and rotary thermal machines, basic calculation methods and processes that take place in a real power machine.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Knowledge of engineering utilization of physical laws for construction, designing and calculation of volumetric and rotary thermal machines.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of Fundamentals of Power Engineering I and Thermomechanics.
Course contents:
The course deepens knowledge in the field of thermal machines gained in the courses Fundamentals of Power Engineering and Thermomechanics and introduces the application of basic physical laws especially for rotary thermal machines (steam and gas turbines) and marginally also volume thermal machines that are used in power engineering. Calculating procedures of elementary turbine and compressor stage, construction of different types of thermal machines, its operating characteristics including testing and operation are discussed.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught in the form of lectures that have the character of explaining basic principles and theory of the mentioned discipline. Seminars are focused on practical handling topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Credit requirements: active participation in seminars, submission of given project according to the set deadline.
Exam requirements: written part in the form of questions and numerical problems, oral part in the form of discussion on given topic.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. The lessons are planned on the basis of a weekly schedule. The way of compensation for an absence is fully at the discretion of the teacher.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 3 hrs. optionally                  
    Exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
