TERMOIDRAULICA BIFASE (FONDAMENTI - APPLICAZIONI) (2023-2024, 1° semestre)

Gli studenti sono pregati di iscriversi alla pagina eLearning del corso: Termoidraulica Bifase (https://elearning.uniroma1.it/course/view.php?id=13557) dove saranno disponibili tutte le informazioni e il materiale didattico.

Il corso è suddiviso in due moduli.

Il modulo Fondamenti di Termoidraulica Bifase (6 CFU - obbligatorio per tutti i curricula) tratterà tutti gli aspetti teorici della disciplina, con semplici applicazioni numeriche per consentire di migliorare la comprensione degli stessi.

Il modulo Applicazioni di Termoidraulica Bifase (3 CFU - obbligatorio per gli studenti del curriculum "Scienze e Tecnologie Nucleari", possibile come tirocinio da 3 CFU per tutti gli altri studenti) presenterà applicazioni e strumenti di calcolo più complessi per l'analisi dei sistemi bifase. All'interno del corso ci sarà anche una introduzione all'uso di livello "intermedio" di EXCEL.
