Aims of the course unit: | ||||
Students will learn to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete design and analysis of industrial heat transfer equipment and work with technical literature. |
||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
Students realize the importance of theoretical knowledge for practical solutions of industrial heat transfer devices. The process is realized through suitable equipment connection to achieve current requirements such as the protection of the environment, reduction of energy consumption, emissions reduction and economical operation. | ||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Basic knowledge from the first-degree study. |
||||
Course contents: | ||||
The course on "Heat Transfer Processes" is one of basic theoretical courses of Process Engineering specialization. It is concerned with solving various heat transfer systems and equipment. Solutions are made based on recent required industrial priorities such as environmental protection and ecological aspects, decreasing of energy consumption, emissions reductions and economical operation. The course includes also teaching modules from international projects solved together with world reputable universities. The subject is taught in the English language. |
