Lectures are focused on understanding basic principles of conversion of energy to heat and work. Both classical and alternative sources of energy are discussed. Different power engineering equipment (steam generator, turbine , condenser, cooling circuit) and overall design of conventinal and nuclear power stations is described and principles of conversion of chemical energy to thermal, mechanical and electrical energy are explained. As a part of conventional power engineering, corrosion control and water treatment is explained. Also, less common electricity generation and cooling processes such as fuel cells, thermocouples (Peltier) and Stirling engines. In seminars, focus is on combustion (heating values, flame temperature, percents of stoichiometric air) and water and steam thermodynamics (thermal and thermodynamic efficency, Mollier diagram).
