Learning Outcomes

The main and overall objectives are:
LO1: Students ought to get theoretical and technical knowledge concerning internal combustion engines, namely on energetic processes, operation and kinematics/dynamics of these engines.
LO2: Students ought to get theoretical and technical knowledge concerning boilers (construction and operation) and their installations.
LO3: Students ought to get theoretical and technical knowledge concerning some power cycles boilers (Rankine, Brayton).
LO4: Students ought to get preliminary theoretical and technical knowledge concerning combustion and fuels.
