CODE 66238 ACADEMIC YEAR 2016/2017 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 3 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA 8720 (L-9) - SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/10 LANGUAGE Italiano TEACHING LOCATION SEMESTER 2° Semester TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course provides students with a great opportunity to learn more about commercial software tools in the analysis and simulation of thermal systems. Briefly, the students will achieve skills in the use of software devoted to the solution of a large selection of practical problems: from thermodynamics to simple fluid dynamics applications, to lumped analysis of thermal systems (electro-thermal analogy). Lessons will be given in the informatic room of the faculty TEACHING METHODS Students are encouraged to form little work groups (max 3 students). During the course period, these groups will face various thermal problems, will solve them and complete short relations about used methodology and obtained results. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Thermodynamic and heat transfer recalls: - general conservation equations, boundary conditions - numerical techniques, error propagation Software use: - thermodynamics cycles (e.g. EES) - thermo-fluid dynamics simulations (e.g. Comsol) - lamped thermal systems analisys and solution (e.g. Microcap) RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Thermodynamics– Guglielmini-Milano, Dispense di Fisica Tecnica; Heat transfer – Bibliographic material is available at DIPTEM/TEC library; TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD FEDERICO SCARPA GUGLIELMO LOMONACO Ricevimento: By appointment (by arrangement with the lecturer).
