Course abstract
Heat process course is giving an overview of fundamental laws that are essential to problem solving in engineering sciences. Course consists of lectures, manual training, laboratory and individual exercises. During the lectures students are introduced to theory and ways of describing physical laws. Manual training includes practicing and understanding written exercises and calculating precise results. Building constructions heat loss calculation. During laboratory workshops students’ deal with hands-on exercises where they measure, process and analyses various data readings.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
After completing the course students will have:
• knowledge about regularity of essential concepts of heat processes and critical understanding of how to use it;
• kills to use measurements of physical quantities and apply knowledge in calculation for their branch of research, summarize and analytically describe the results;
• competence to assess the measurement and calculation results of thermodynamic s
