Aims of the teaching

The teaching aims at providing solid knowledge to enable the analysis of unit operations used in power and refrigeration technologies (turbines, compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, etc.)

The proposed lectures and hands-on training will provide the necessary theoretical background and an overview of dedicated software for practising and carrying out projects (case-based project & challenge-based project).

Among covered topics, teaching will address: i) Unit operations in mechanical and chemical engineering; ii) Thermodynamic cycles; iii) Phase change; iv) Heat exchanger calculations.

Numerical skills will be encouraged through the use of dedicated mechanical and chemical engineering software as: Prosim Plus, Aspen, Fluent, Comsol.

Lecture by industry specialists of these fields are also scheduled (EDF, FiveCryo, …).

Intended Learning outcomes (measured by the assessment)

At the end of the teaching module, the student should:

Demonstrate knowledge of key technologies that operate according to a thermodynamic cycle, with heat and mass transport.

Demonstrate the ability to: formulate, analyse, model and solve an applied engineering problem dealing with heat and fluid.

Master principles of energy conversion involving: fluid, heat and phase change.
