Learning outcomes
An aim of the subject is to introduce the students with main types of the heat machines and equipments. These machines are used for various kind energy transformation and transport. The subject introduces with thermophysical phenomena occurred during the transformation and the laws that control this phenomena. The construction, operation and utilizations of these equipments are presented. The main emphasis of this course is to economy and environmentalism utilization of these complex technological equipments.
Students are familiar with the function and construction of thermal machines, students are able to determine the basic parameters of thermal machines for operation, they are familiar with the calculation procedure, they are able to design and select the type of the respective thermal machine (compressor, combustion engine)
