Aims
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.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
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).
