Minor Courses

Description

  1.  

Energy and its transformation

The study of the course is based on the main types and general concepts energy and to convert it.  An analysis of the prospects for the development world, domestic experience in the development traditional, alternative energy sources is presented. Teaching the course also pursues the study features processes obtaining thermal, electrical energy at thermal nuclear power plants, as well as using renewable energy sources.

 

  1.  

Energy and ecology

When studying the course, the main environmental problems of energy are highlighted. Particular attention is paid to traditional energy, as the most important environmental pollutant. The nature and extent of the impact of energy facilities on the environment when polluted by gaseous substances, solid particles is analyzed. Considered are traditional, non-traditional energy resources, methods for assessing the economic, environmental prospects for the development of energy.

  1.  

Energy efficiency of buildings and industrial enterprises

The course studies the main laws, regulations in the field of energy efficiency. Methods for evaluating the efficiency using various types primary, secondary fuel energy resources are being studied. The basics energy efficiency in buildings, industrial facilities institutions are considered. The role importance energy audit in the processing, analysis data on the use energy resources in order to assess the possibility energy saving are described.
