AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Acquisition of the theoretical, technical, methodological and practical skills necessary for the experimental investigation of combustive processes. Acquisition of the theoretical basis of the modern measurements and diagnostic techniques applicable to the combustion field as well as of operative skills in utilizing an experimental infrastructure and the measurement techniques theoretically introduced, taking advantage of the equipment present at the Savona Campus. The course foresees also the realization of a simple combustor project and its characterization by means of the most proper experimental techniques.
