Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Marek Baláš, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Familiarization with types and properties of fuels, basic classification of boilers and their parts, aspects of combustion of all types of fuels and its impact on the environment.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Objective of the course - learning outcomes and competences: Students will acquire basic knowledge about types and properties of used fuels, basics of combustion and types of combustion equipment, including their basic design. In the second half of the course is devoted to the environmental aspects of solving engineering tasks in the area of heat demand. Students are acquainted with an overview of the main emissions from combustion, principles of their formation and elimination. This knowledge will be applicable in the areas of energy, heating, heating, air-conditioning and technical installations of buildings, can be applied in manufacturing plants, investors and operators.
Prerequisites:
Basics of thermo mechanics and heat transfer.
Course contents:
The aim of the course is to introduce the basic properties of fuels burned in power equipment, including details of analyzes and analyzes of fuels. Another area is the basics of combustion and determination of outputs from the combustion process. The course also includes an overview of combustion equipment, including introduction to the advantages and limitations of individual technologies and a description of their main parts. The second part of the course is devoted to an overview of the main emissions produced by combustion, the basic principles of their generation and elimination, including technologies for their elimination.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught in the form of lectures, where students will be acquainted with basic theoretical knowledge according to the content of the course and outline. Exercise is focused on practical mastery of the subject matter discussed in the lectures in the form of balance and design calculations, further professional excursions will be included.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the seminars, submitting a semestral project and presenting it.
The exam is written with possible oral correction of the assessment and will verify the theoretical and computational knowledge.
