Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The aim of the course is to familiare students with the problems of designing the thermal power stations, their important nods, as well as with the economic aspects of the design. |
||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
Students will obtain the knowledge energy sources in the technical practice, their ecological, economic and energetic aspects. | ||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Knowledge of physics and thermodynamics at 2.TU level | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
The course 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. The economic and environmental problems are also very important parts of the lectures. |
||||
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: | ||||
Graded credit requirements: active participation in the exercises, delivery of a project for the given topic in the given term. Examination: written part consists of questions and examples, oral part in a form discussion about a given topic. |
||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
Enrollment of student participation in seminars in the attendance list, replacement of missed classes by individual agreement with the teacher. |
