| Objectives |
After successfully engaging with the topics of this course, students will be able to
- explain the basic design and functional principles of water and wind turbines,
- perform basic calculations regarding water and wind turbines,
- descripe thermo-fluid dynamic aspects of further methods of sustainable energy gerneration
- perform calculations of typical therodynamic cycles of sustainable energy gerneration systems
The level of mathematical modeling and analysis of the mentioned topics is comparable to the level of the textbooks: Pfleiderer, Petermann: Strömungsmaschinen, 2005; Hau, Windkraftanlagen, 2016.
