Learning objectives

The course is designed to give students a wide overview of the most appropriate methods to approach the project of a fluid machine.

Prerequisites

Macchine AB

Course unit content

The design with analytical methods and numerical methods. Similarity criteria.<br />
How to increase performance and reduce pollutions. Review of most common thermodynamic cycles. Steam injection in a gas cycle.<br />
