Course detail
Fundamentals of Power Engineering
FSI-LZ1Acad. year: 2022/2023
The course makes students acquainted with the application of basic physical laws, above all of hydromechanics and thermomechanics, applicable designing and utilization of power machines and equipment. These laws are used to improve the efficiency, operational quality and reliability of these machines and equipment, as well as the technological and material demands. The course is also aimed at incorporating of these machines and equipment into power systems and their control dependingon loading and other conditions. The economic and environmental problems are also very important parts of the lectures.
