Energy Engineering

The whole course consists of 90 hours of lectures and exercises on the topics listed below, for a total of 9 ECTS, 6 of which are taught by prof. Massimo Corcione, the remaining 3 by prof. Alessandro Quintino. Fundamentals of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Heat exchanger theory. Thermal, hydraulic and mechanical design of heat exchangers: double-pipe heat exchangers, single phase shell-and-tube heat exchangers, condensers and evaporators, finned-tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, cooling towers. Development of computational codes aimed at the design of tubular heat exchangers and counterflow cooling towers

Basic knowledge of physics, thermal sciences, fluid mechanics, machines.

1) M. Corcione, Note di Trasmissione del Calore, ed. CISU 2) Handouts in Italian edited by the teacher 3) Chapters extracted from technical handbooks

Traditional classroom lectures and exercises on the topics listed in the syllabus.

Optional

Written test and subsequent oral examination. The written test consists of questions on both theory and applications. The written test will be evaluated taking into account both the learning outcomes and the expressive language skills. The oral test deals with the discussion of the written test and one or two of questions on the main topics. The oral test will be evaluated taking into account both the learning outcomes and the expressive language skills. The final evaluation will take into due account the results of both tests.
