Learning outcomes
The course discusses the basic chemical processes relevant to the energy of fossil fuel combustion, as well as the energy of alternative renewable energy sources. These are, on the one hand, the processes taking place during energy transformations and their description, understanding and application, as well as their impact on the environment and the minimization of these effects.
Students will gain basic knowledge about the structure, properties, methods of thermal and chemical-thermal processing of materials used in energy and will be familiar with this issue. They will gain practical experience in evaluating the mechanical properties of materials using appropriate standards and measuring equipment.
