Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will be able to solve thermal phenomena in mechanic systems. They will acquire basic knowledge necessary for measuring of temperature and airflow in mechatronic systems.
Prerequisites
Students are expected to have basic knowledge of programming.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Attendance at numerical, laboratory and computer exercises is obligatory. Students are required to submit the required number of reports, as well as the prescribed number of individual projects. ourse-unit credit is awarded on results in exercises (max. 30 points). The exam has an oral and a written part (max. 70 points).
Aims
The aim of the course is to familiarise students with thermal phenomena in mechatronics. They will learn how to use numerical and experimental methods for description of thermal phenomena in mechatronic systems, especially electrical appliances and drives.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
