AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES (FURTHER INFO)

The course has the following specific objectives: to give some fundamentals on heat transfer applied to energy transformation and production; to provide some general bases in the energetic field, in such a way the student can make correct options on the production and rational use of energy; to give the first elements on solar and nuclear energy

TEACHING METHODS

The course consists in theoretical lectures and numerical practices.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT
