Getting to know the candidates with problems and solving problems in the field of еnergy efficiency with appropriate scientific methods; subject is made as an advanced course in the area of еnergy efficiency at the doctoral studies.

Upon completion of the course it is expected that the candidate has mastered the scientific knowledge pertaining to the analysis and evaluation of scientific papers, procedures and methods of energy auditing and testing, as well as the advanced processes of modeling, design and optimization of industrial plants from the viewpoint of energy efficiency.

Brief overview of typical processes with reactor and other processing systems and heat recovery systems and utility systems - focus on energy considerations. Graphical and numerical procedures for targeting minimum energy consumption in industrial processes. Design and optimization of networks with maximum energy recovery. Energy considerations for equipment in industrial processes. Potentials for energy conservation in industrial plants. Energy management and control in industrial complexes. Methods of data auditing. The importance of measuring and computer application, measures for the improvements of energy efficiency of the processes and equipment. Principles of design of energy control systems in industrial plants.

Examples of Energy Efficient Systems: the use of waste heat, the steam supply and condense return systems, technical oxygen application in high temperature processes, combined heat and power generation, etc. Development of energy conservation projects in industrial plants. Methods of testing of thermal processes and equipment. Students work under the supervision of teacher one seminar paper that needs student to apply knowledge. If needed laboratory work and visits to industrial facilities.
