Learning objectives
At the end of the course the student will have acquired
- knowledge relating to the design of the experimentation (even virtual) on Energy Systems and the interpretation of the obtained results;
- skills concerning the numerical and experimental characterization of Energy Systems operations;
- tools for the implementation, execution and analysis of models for the simulation of Energy Systems and for the interpretation of simulation results.
Prerequisites
A basic knowledge of fundamentals of Mathematics, Physics Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Energy Systems is required.
Course unit content
The course is a complement to the theoretical contents presented in the Energy Systems course, which is held in parallel.
During the course, energy conversion systems (turbogas, steam plants and internal combustion engines) and their components will be analyzed with IT tools in order to determine their performance as the operating conditions vary.
The main problems related to the experimental characterization of energy systems and fluid machines will also be analysed in this framework.
