Summary
Subject follows subjects in Master’s degree program “Compressors, pumps and exhausters” and “Thermal turbines”.
In this subject, there are theoretical and practical knowledge of Engineer degree program developed, which are necessary for scientific research of processes in levels of thermal turbines, turbo compressors or displacement compressors and current compressors. They are prerequisite for optimalization of these machines, their constructive and conceptual improvements and integration to heat flow diagram of thermal circuit with higher efficiency.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Orientation in assignment of compressors, pumps and heat turbines.
Knowledge of processes, which characterize energy transformation in compressors, pumps and thermal turbines.
Knowledge of energy criteria’s evaluation of energy transformation in compressors, pumps and thermal turbines.
Knowledge of economic and environmental consequences of energy transformation in compressors, pumps and thermal turbines.
Solution’s proposal of complex of energy processes’ proceeding in machine rooms of heating exchanges.
