Condition
The goal		Learning basics of the heat and mass transfer. Understanding the process of the heating as the consequence of the power losses inside electric power components. Developing students’ skills to apply knowledge from general heat and mass transfer theory to design, application, monitoring and protection of electric power components.
The outcome		Students can solve all types of thermal problems from practice of design and application of electric power components. They Studentsget familiar with classical (simplified) engineering methods, their limitations and practical benefits of the application of modern software tools and the physical description of approaches thermal processes (deeper physical base of thermal models).
