Academy of Technical and
Art Applied Studies Belgrade

Energy and the Environment Course code: 117024 | 7 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 3
Semester: 6
Requirements:
Goal: The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the terminology, specific goals of environmental engineering, as well as to acquaint students with power plants and their impact on the environment. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic principles of environmental protection from pollution caused by energy transformation. Developing awareness of the importance of interdisciplinarity and the global nature of environmental problems, as well as the use of unconventional resources and alternative energy sources.
Outcome: The required level of knowledge on the role of energy exploitation in the development of new technologies has been adopted. Ability to identify potential sources of pollution in specific energy transformation systems, as well as the selection of adequate systems for the reduction and prevention of environmental pollution in them.
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
  1. Basic physical and chemical concepts of defining the state of matter, basic thermodynamic quantities of the state, postulates of thermal equilibrium
  2. Ideal and realistic gases
  3. Basic laws of thermodynamics
  4. The principle of energy conservation.
  5. SI unit system, conversion, typical conversion problems
  6. Fuels: an energy source for the conversion of chemically bound energy into heat
  7. Fuel combustion and thermotechnical combustion devices
  8. Energy production and consumption and consequent risks
  9. Power plants (thermal power plants, heating plants, hydropower plants, power plants in industry, means of transport, urban environments)
  10. Cogeneration systems and renewable energy sources
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
  1. The exercises illustrate the topics covered in the theoretical classes with examples and calculation tasks, which contributes to a better definition, and better understanding of the topics covered in the theoretical classes. Practical classes are realized as fieldwork, ie through visits to plants in which there are conventional systems for energy transformation.
