Summary
The content of the subject covers the field of thermostatics and thermodynamics of gases and vapours, thermal cycles of energy units and engines, energy and exergy balances and thermokinetics. The subject is aimed towards thermal engineering and power engineering. Particular topics are after agreement with the doctoral advisor developed in deails according to the focus of the doctoral work.
