Learning outcomes
Students will be acquainted with heat exchangers - devices used to mediate the transfer of heat between two, respectively. even more substances (liquids, solids). These include equipment that is not considered to be a heat exchanger such as a fuel kiln, a distillation column, a reactor, etc. Their use is very wide and knowledge can be used wherever the use of heat, waste, process, heating requirements is concerned. etc.
Student is able to design heat exchanger, assess the operation of existing equipment, independently perform heat and control calculations, in practice, apply knowledge in all industries.
