Department

Energy Institute (EÚ)

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of energy sources, steam turbines and boilers

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Graded credit requirements: active participation in the exercises and delivery of a project for the given topic in a given term. Examination: written part consists of questions and examples, oral part in a form of discussion about a given topic.
Participation in the exercises is systematically controlled

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarise students with problems of designing thermal power stations, their important nods, as well as with economic aspects of the design.
The course provides students with knowledge and skills necessary to work out the documentation in power engineering including optimal thermal and economic calculations.
