A purpose of this course is to give the students understanding opportunity of calculation procedures of many technical apparatus and equipment. In the time of the big offer of different software for engineering calculations, the users gradually neglect the physical basis of the calculations offered, and by this way they put themselves in danger to make the errors in the calculations. This is especially possible during the use of non authorized and untested software.

Mastering of apparatus and equipment calculations principle massively used in energy engineering (heat exchangers, boilers, cooling equipment, pumps, fans, compressors, electric motors etc.). The students will be qualified to perform engineering calculations (manually and using computers) of the most represented apparatus and equipment in the field of energy and environmental engineering.

Energy units, conversions, thermophysical properties and other engineering data; Fuels, burning and environmental impact, Thermodynamic and transport properties of moist air; Applied hydraulics; Pumps and fans; Heat transfer in heat equpiment; Industrial isolation; Estimation of working point of heat exchanger; Cooling towers; Cooling devices; Mixers; Filtration; Distillation; Drying.

According to content and structure of the course, lectures will be abounded by the examples of engineering calculations of different apparatus and devices. A theoretical analysis which student already heard during some other course will be preceded to every calculation if needed. It will be insisted especially to independent work of students on calculations.
