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)
