Course detail

Power Energetic Equipments

FEKT-NEZAAcad. year: 2015/2016

The subject is intended for students who want to work in nuclear power engineering. The subject covers constructional, economic, ecological and operational properties of energy machinery of nuclear power plants, its mutual interaction, its operation and maintenance, economical utilization, analysis of the influence of faults of the systems on the operational indices and the economy of the operation of power-generating plants. The subject is a prerequisite for the subject Nuclear Power Plant.
