The course shows how in a wide range of industrial enterprises use and how they are connected knowledge of many subjects of general mechanical engineering studies. Students are familiar with how these specializations complement each other and what solution tools are used at different stages of the design and operation of industrial processes.
1. Orientation in technological schemes of process and power equipment.
2. Overview of measurement and control systems in industrial buildings and plants.
3. Presentation of the mathematical background and outputs the simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer, chemical reactions.
4. A short introduction to the conceptual planning and economic evaluation of projects - investment relationship - operating income and expenses - payback.
5. Unit operations as the basic building unit of process and manufacturing industries.
6. Heat exchange systems, their role and the most commonly used types of industrial heat exchangers.
7. Principles of technological and strength design of process and power equipment with regard to the economy of the design.
8. Gaining overview of the ways of equipment damaging equipment in the industry and achieving their maximum lifetime.

Subject links and continuating on knowledges gained in most subjects of previous bachelor's studies (e.g. Fundamentals of Design, Physics I, Mathematics I and II, Chemistry, Numerical Methods, Computer Science, etc.).

Not applicable.

The course is taught through lectures and seminars. The emphasis is placed on practical application and conections of knowledge gained in both theoretically and technically oriented subjects that are taught in undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.

Course-unit credit requirements:
Active participation in seminars.

Exam:
Students are evaluated in two phases:
- Written tests. Upon receiving grade E or better from the test, a student proceeds to an oral exam.
- Oral exam: Students demonstrate their knowledge by proving to understand the subject, not by mere memorization (explanation of principles using presentations from lectures).

The aim is to explain the interdisciplinary nature of process engineering, which connects individual narrow specializations. On the example of the incinerator or WtE (waste-to-energy) unit, which stands at the interface between the typical process plant (whose primary purpose is the production of a product from raw material - eg. gasoline from crude oil, fruit distilate from sour, etc.) and the typical energy plant (whose primary purpose is the energy production - e.g. power plant-generation of electricity, heating plant-thermal energy production), the student is gradually introduced to the solution concept generally valid for solving the problem of industrial plant at various levels - from conceptual design, comprehensive evaluation in terms of energy, environment and economy to solving unit operations by appropriate apparatuses or equipment from which the process comprises and structural details of individual equipment. Lessons learned and the way of thinking are applicable in many other specializations.

The course consists of lectures presented with a suitable means of presentation (ppt) and seminars. Students receive the coursework in electronic form.
Attendance at lectures is recommended. Attendance at seminars is compulsory and checked.
