Heat Exchangers (FSI-LVT)

Academic year 2024/2025
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Marek Baláš, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Course type: departmental course
Aims of the course unit:

The aim is to get acquainted with all aspects of heat, strength and hydraulic (aerodynamic) design of heat exchangers.
Students will acquire advanced knowledge of engineering tasks in heat exchanger designs. The student will acquire practical skills in heat design of heat exchangers, calculation of pressure losses and strength calculations. This knowledge will be used in the fields of power engineering, heating, heating, air conditioning, heat recovery, chemical and process engineering, and can be used in manufacturing plants, investors and operators.
