Objectives
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO STUDY AND ANALYZE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS APPLICABLE TO FLUID MACHINES AND ENERGY SYSTEMS. THE COURSE, HELD IN THE SECOND SEMESTER OF THE FIRST YEAR OF THE MASTER’S DEGREE COURSE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, IS OF 9 CREDITS (ECTS).
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
- APPROPRIATE MODELING REPRESENTATION OF THE MAIN PHENOMENA INVOLVED IN BOTH FLUID MACHINES AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS.
- KNOWLEDGE OF DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS PRINCIPLES.
- BASIC CONCEPTS OF 2D FLOW AROUND A PROFILE.
- KNOWLEDGE OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES (ICE) AND RELATED APPLICATION ISSUES.
- GAINING EXPERTISE ON ICE DESIGN, HOW TO MANAGE ICE CONNECTION TO THE LOAD AND HOW TO FACE THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH COMBUSTION, POLLUTANT EMISSIONS AND CONTROL SYSTEMS.
- APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO DEVELOP SIMPLE MATHEMATICAL MODELS IN MATLAB ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DESIGN AND CONTROL OF FLUID MACHINES AND THERMAL POWER PLANTS, PARTICULARLY BY USING IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUES AIMED AT THE BEST COMPROMISE BETWEEN PRECISION AND GENERALIZATION.
- KNOWLEDGE OF THE SELECTION CRITERIA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCALE MODELS AND FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE MECHANICAL SIMILARITY LAWS.
- KNOWLEDGE OF THE MOST SUITABLE CALCULATION METHODOLOGIES TO BE ADOPTED FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SIZING.
THE MAIN SKILLS (I.E. THE ABILITY TO APPLY ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE) WILL BE:
- ABILITY TO APPLY ADVANCED CALCULATION METHODS FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL STRATEGIES’ DESIGN.
- ABILITY TO ANALYZE DIFFERENT MATHEMATICAL MODELS AND CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE MODEL DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION, IN TERMS OF PRECISION, GENERALIZATION AND COMPUTATIONAL TIME.
- CAPACITY OF ANALYZING THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE DESIGN AND CONTROL OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES DESTINED TO AUTOMOTIVE USE.
- IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF ENGINE PERFORMANCE DEPENDING ON FINAL APPLICATION.
- CAPACITY TO DEVELOP MODEL-BASED OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURE FOR THE OTPIMAL DESIGN AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT FOR MACHINES AND THERMAL ENGINE SYSTEMS.
Prerequisites
SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF ALL OBJECTIVES REQUIRES DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF THERMODYNAMICS, APPLIED MECHANICS, FLUID MACHINERY AND ENERGY SYSTEMS AS WELL AS BASICS OF COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.
Contents
THE COURSE CONSISTS OF 90 HOURS (9 ECTS) DIVIDED INTO THERETICAL LESSONS (58 H), NUMERICAL EXERCISES (30 H) AND GUIDED EXERCISES IN LABORATORY (2 H).
THE MAIN ARGUMENTS ADDRESSED IN THE COURSE ARE:
- STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS APPLICABLE TO THE STUDY OF FLUID MACHINES AND ENERGY SYSTEMS (10 H).
- APPROPRIATE MODELING REPRESENTATION OF THE MAIN PHENOMENA OF INTEREST IN THE FLUID MACHINES AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS (10 H).
- THE PRINCIPLES OF DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS (5 H)
- THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF 2D FLOW AROUND A PROFILE (5 H).
- STUDY OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND RELATED APPLICATION PROBLEMS (15 H)
- THEORETICAL, QUANTITATIVE AND APPLICATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ENGINES DESIGN AND THEIR COUPLING WITH THE OPERATING SYSTEMS (15 H)
- PROBLEMS RELATED TO COMBUSTION, POLLUTANT EMISSIONS FORMATION AS WELL AS TO REGULATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS (10 H).
- BASIC MODELING WITH APPLICATIONS IN MATLAB ENVIRONMENT FOR PROJECT AND CONTROL OF MACHINES AND THERMAL ENGINE SYSTEMS (20 H).
Teaching Methods
TEACHING INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (55 HOURS), CLASSROOM EXERCISES WITH INDIVIDUAL COMPUTER (30 H) AND LABORATORY EXERCISES (5 H).
THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED AS FOLLOWS:
- CLASSROOM LESSONS RELATED TO ALL TOPICS ADDRESSED IN THE COURSE.
- EXERCISES IN THE "BASIC DIDACTICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE" LABORATORY OF THE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING. THE EXERCISING PART INVOLVES CARRYING OUT CALCULATION EXAMPLES RELATED TO THE VARIOUS TOPICS, WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION IN THE MATLAB-SIMULINK ENVIRONMENT.
- LABORATORY EXERCISES IN THE "LABORATORY OF MACHINES AND ENERGY SYSTEMS". IN LABORATORY EXERCISES, STUDENTS APPLY THE EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGIES NECESSARY TO CHARACTERIZE A DYNAMIC OPERATING MACHINE AND AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE.
Verification of learning
THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF COURSE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH AN EVALUATION EXAM (30 IS THE MAXIMUM MARK). VERIFICATION INVOLVES A WRITTEN NUMERICAL TEST, WITH COMPUTER USE, BEYOND WHICH THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE THE ORAL TEST. THE TWO-HOUR NUMERICAL TEST CONSISTS IN SOLVING A PROBLEM OF THE SAME TYPE AS THOSE SOLVED DURING THE EXERCISE HOURS AND AVAILABLE IN THE TEACHING WEBSITE. THE MARK IS EXPRESSED IN A SCALE FROM A (MAX. MARK) TO E (NOT ALLOWED). STUDENTS WHO GET AT LEAST A D MARK AT THE EXAM ARE ADMITTED TO THE ORAL EXAM.
THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS OF A DISCUSSION LASTING NO MORE THAN ABOUT 40 MINUTES. THE FINAL MARK COMES FROM THE AVERAGE OF THE TWO TRIALS.
