Students will learn to use CAD for design and analysis of process and power equipment and related activities; they will further obtain overview of available software and their application for concrete practical tasks.

Students have passed Heat Transfer and Hydraulic Processes seminars.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on type of course and are described in part 7 of Study and Examination Rules of BUT. Seminar will mostly cover calculations with focus on practical (real) applications.

Course is classified as compulsory-facultative seminar; it is not graded. Assessment consists of award of credit. Course-unit credit requirements: active participation in seminars and obtaining in sum at least 10 points.

Lessons in computer labs:

1. Week: introduction to the course content and working method. Introduction into design, check and simulation calculations of convection heat exchangers. Start up with calculations of heat exchangers in CHEMCAD software and examples of related activities.
2. Week: continuation and advancement of heat exchangers calculations in CHEMCAD software with examples of advanced options and interactions with other software systems and activities.
3. Week: aspects of simulation heat exchangers’ calculations. Introduction to HTRI Xchanger Suite software system and types of individual modules. Simple examples for adoption of basic work with software system (input data entry, software options, format of final protocol, etc.).
4. Week: introduction to Xphe module – plate type heat exchangers.
5. Week: practical application – solving tasks using Xphe modules.
6. Week: introduction to Xist module –„shell-and-tube“heat exchangers.
7. Week: practical application - solving tasks using Xist modules.
8. Week: practical application - solving tasks using Xist modules.
9. Week: introduction to Xace module – air coolers and economizers.
10. Week: practical application – solving tasks using Xphe modules.
11. Week: practical application – solving tasks using Xphe modules.
12. Week: practical application – solving tasks using Xphe modules.
13. Week: practical application – solving tasks using Xphe modules.

Not applicable.

Student will acquire deeper understanding of (thermal-hydraulic) design of process and power equipment (especially design of heat exchangers of various construction types) and existing computer aided design systems; application of software systems for analysis of existing and design of new heat exchangers and related activities will be further presented. Students will in detail learn about possibilities of world recognized professional software systems (HTRI Xchanger Suite, CHEMCAD) and how to work with them.

Credit will be awarded to students who attend the lessons regularly (regular attendance means attendance at minimum of 75 % of the seminar, i.e. 10 lessons out of total 13).
