    Learning outcomes Students have to be friendly with fundamentals of different systems of energy transfer

    and sources of energy (fossil fuels, different natural sources). They have to be good at

    describing principles of operation of piston engines of internal and external combustion

    processes, steam and gas turbines, as well as combine systems, nuclear power plants,

    hydropower systems, wind machines, etc. Additionally, students should be able to

    prepare professional technical presentation..

    Prerequisites Mathematics I (0001010100, 0001010200), Mathematics II (0001020100, 0001020200),

    Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics (0003032200)

    Course description LECTURE

    Thermodynamic principles and limitations, fundamental laws of thermodynamics, fossil

    fuels and natural sources of energy, hazards and pollution, ideal and real fluid properties,

    Carnot engine and its thermodynamic cycle, internal and external combustion piston

    engines, Newcomen engine, action and reaction steam turbines, gas turbines and

    combined cycles, nuclear reactions fusion and fission, fuel cells, water turbines,

    hydropower plants, tides and tidal energy transfer systems, thermal energy of oceans and

    its utilization systems, wind machines and control systems, geothermal energy of the

    Earth.

    PROJECT

    Student divided into three/four people groups are to design device for energy transfer

    issues (for example heat exchanger). Such group are to prepare professional technicalpresentation (also report) concerning a selected topic from the field of subject.

    Form of assessment Final mark consists of two components: project of a devices for energy transfer 55%;

    professional presentation of selected topics from the field of energy resources and

    conversion 45%.
