PL1: Combustion engines. |
Study of the operation of combustion engines. |
PL3: 2-stroke engines. |
Study and analysis of the operation of 2-stroke engines. For this, students will work in groups disassembling 2-stroke engines with the available tools. |
PL5: Gas turbines. |
Parametric study and operation of gas turbines. |
PL7: Vessel auxiliary systems. |
Parameterization and operation of various auxiliary systems on ships. For example, analysing the configuration and operation of the electrical installations in warships, as well as the process of connection and disconnection to ground current. |
