Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
GAINING EXPERTISE ON ENERGY CONVERSION, ENERGY BALANCES AND THE OPTIMAL EXPLOITATION OF ENERGY RESOURCES. KNOWLEDGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH CONVENTIONAL, ALTERNATIVE AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES. LEARNING METHODS OF ANALYSIS FOR THE QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF ENERGY FLOWS IN PLANTS AND THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC MACHINES. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF THERMAL POWER PLANTS, COMPRESSOR AND PUMPS. CHARACTERISTIC CURVES OF FLUID MACHINES AND THEIR CONNECTION WITH THE PLANT.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
KNOWLEDGE OF THE CALCULATION METHODOLOGY FOR THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF ENERGY CONVERSION PLANTS WITHIN A TECHNO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT. ABILITY TO PERFORM QUANTITATIVE ANALYSES ON ENERGY SAVING AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF INDIVIDUAL PLANTS. PERFORM THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF A THERMAL POWER PLANT. ANALYZE THE ENERGY FLOWS IN FLUID MACHINES, BOTH ASSUMING IDEAL AND REAL CONDITIONS, IDENTIFY THE AREAS OF APPLICATION OF FLUID MACHINES DEPENDING ON THEIR FUNCTIONAL FEATURES AND CONCEPTUAL SIZING.

MAKING JUDGEMENTS
ABILITY TO ANALYZE PROBLEMS OF ENERGY CONVERSION IN DIFFERENT AREAS AND FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS. IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS TO ANALYZE THE OPTIMAL CONFIGURATIONS OF A GIVEN PLANT AS A FUNCTION OF FINAL APPLICATION AND ANALYZE THE RELATED ENERGY SAVING ASPECTS. KNOWING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE BEST SYSTEMS FOR ENERGY CONVERSION AND THE TYPE OF FLUID MACHINE TO BE INSERTED INTO A SYSTEM, OPTIMIZING THE ENERGY FLOWS ACCORDING TO THE CONTEXT.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
ABILITY TO WORK AS PART OF A TEAM AND PERFORM ORAL PRESENTATION ON A TOPIC DEALING WITH FLUID MACHINERY AND ENERGY SYSTEMS.

LEARNING SKILLS
KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE GAINED EXPERTISE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE AND TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS USING MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED.
Prerequisites
SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF ALL OBJECTIVES REQUIRES DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF THERMODYNAMICS, APPLIED MECHANICS AND FLUID PROPERTIES.
Contents
THE COURSE CONTENT DEEPENS THE STUDY OF ENERGY CONVERSION, ENERGY BALANCES AND THE OPTIMAL EXPLOITATION OF ENERGY RESOURCES. ATTENTION IS PAID TO THE STUDY OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH CONVENTIONAL, ALTERNATIVE AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES. METHODS OF ANALYSIS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF ENERGY FLOWS IN PLANTS AND THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC MACHINES, AIMED AT THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF THERMAL POWER PLANTS, COMPRESSOR AND PUMPS. ATTENTION IS PAID TO THE APPROPRIATE CHOICE OF MACHINES AND POWER PLANTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENERGY SAVING IN A TECHNO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE COVERS LECTURES, CLASSROOM EXERCISES AND PRACTICAL LABORATORY WORK. NUMERICAL EXERCISES ARE CAREFULLY CHOSEN WITH THE AIM OF DEEPENING THE CONCEPTS RELATED TO ENERGY CONVERSION, THERMAL POWER PLANTS AND FLUID MACHINES. IN LABORATORY EXERCISES STUDENTS EXPERIMENTALLY DETECT THE CHARACTERISTIC CURVES OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND A CENTRIFUGAL PUMP.
Verification of learning
THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF COURSE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. PASSING THE EXAM IS DETERMINED BY THE VERIFICATION OF A PROPER LEARNING OF THE THEORETICAL AND ANALYTICAL TOOLS PROVIDED BY THE COURSE. THE EVALUATION IS CARRIED OUT BY ANALYZING THE ABILITY TO SOLVE A TYPICAL ENGINEERING PROBLEM.
