prof. Ing. Josef Štětina, Ph.D.

Institute of Automotive Engineering

Mathematics, solution of ODE differential equations. Thermomechanics at the bachelor's degree level. Programming in Matlab.

During the examination, the knowledge of the physical nature of the problems discussed, including their solution on the computer, is examined and evaluated, especially in connection with the topic of the dissertation. Part of the exam is a discussion of the project solved with the subject. The exam consists of a written part and an oral part.
The course consists of lectures and consultations in agreement with the course supervisor.

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic thermodynamic cycles of thermal machines. Methods of solving theoretical and real cycles in Matlab / Simulink and GT-Suite software.
The ability to perform simulations of both theoretical and real cycles of working machines such as internal combustion engines, combustion turbines, jet engines, compressors, and steam turbines.
