Course detail

Experimental Methods

FSI-IEM Acad. year: 2023/2024 Winter semester

The course deals with experimental methods in environmental engineering, hydrodynamics and power engineering. The course covers the principles of experimental methods, properties of sensors, computer measurements and processing.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

4

Supervisor

doc. Ing. František Lízal, Ph.D.

Department

Energy Institute

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of physical laws from thermodynamics, heat transfer, mechanics of fluids and electrotechnical engineering.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

It is necessary to complete all laboratory, computational exercises, submit timely elaborated reports from laboratory measurements and pass tests during the semester. The evaluation consists of tests results, theoretical knowledge and of results from laboratories.
The work in laboratories is checked systematically and three tests in a semester are written.

Aims

Students learn to work with experimental and measuring devices for environmental engineering, hydrodynamics and power engineering.
Students will acquire theoretical knowledge and learn to work with experimental equipment and computer measuring systems.
