Aim
The students will apply previously acquired knowledge in thermodynamics to real cases within the field of thermal power engineering. The students will also learn to understand the function of the components and be able to dimension components of the thermal power plants. This course will provide skills to use different tools for analysis of components and systems for electricity and heat production.
