Prerequisites
For the on-going work and understanding of the subject basic knowledge of the following courses is needed:
1. Thermodynamics
2. Heat transfer

Coursework, on-going work and passing the course: The course consists of lectures and tutorials (exercises).
Lectures: a new topic is presented and discussed weekly.
Tutorials: on-going work is expected. All practical / numerical basis that are required for the tests are given in advance in the form of Power Point presentation.

Passing the course: the final mark consists of the assessment of the theory and assessment of the practical part (tutorials). The assessment of the theory is performed by written examination. The assessment of tutorials is obtained from short tests that are taken weekly on tutorials.
