Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student is able to model and solve
problems on the following topics: energy analysis of thermodynamic
systems, newtonian fluid flow within ducts under laminar and
turbulent regimes, heat conduction in plane and cylindrical
geometries, including internal heat generation, convection heat
transfer, radiation heat transfer, in plane and cylindrical
geometries.
Course contents
Introduction: basics and definitions. The first law of
thermodynamics for closed systems. Thermodynamic properties of pure
substances. Control volumes and the first law. Second law of
thermodynamics for closed systems. Entropy. Steam power cycles and
vapor compression refrigeration cycles. Gas turbine cycles.
Fluid mechanics. Momentum and energy conservation equations.
Basics of heat transfer. Unsteady heat transfer. Conduction heat
transfer. Convection heat transfer. Radiation heat transfer.
Biothermal equation.

Lecture notes supplied by the teacher.
Teaching methods
Numerical examples where theoretical principles are applied; use of thermodynamic tables and charts to solve problems.
Assessment methods
Written test to access the oral part. The written test consists of three exercises on the three main parts of the program (Thernodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer), with a maximum of 36 points; 18 points are needed to be allowed to the oral examination. The oral examination takes part next to the communication of the outcomes of the written tests and consists of two questions on the subjects treated in the course. A wide selection of past written tests complete with their solution is available at: http://campus.unibo.it/
Teaching tools
Lectures and exercises in the classroom.
