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.
