Energy systems

Summary

The subject acquaints students with energy consumption during development of human civilization, types of energies, sources and physical laws of energy transformation. Students will learn the properties of gaseous fuels, issues of interchangeability of heating gases, fuel pricing, normalization of energy consumption and approaches to the generation of energy and exergetic balances. They will understand the problems of power machines and equipment for pumping water, compressed air production, steam equipment, cooling equipment etc.
