DOMENICO BORELLO

Fluid Machinery Course (MENR) 2023/2024-NEW

Domenico Borello and Giovanni Delibra

The Fluid Machinery course will be delivered in class

The students can find the course materials and announcements on Google Classroom (it's a new Classroom, different from previous years)

The Classroom code is: rdocva7

Students can find me in Room 21 of Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Via Eudossiana 18 Roma. Most of the time you can come without appointment. If you want to be sure I'll be able to discuss with you about the course or MSc thesis you need to book an appointment via email. 

Schedule and start of lectures

Due to a series of problems with the Faculty, the 1st lecture of the course is programmed for Feb. 27th at 2-4 pm in "Sala riunioni elettrica" (go to Electric Engineering Dept. or Aula 40 and ask there at the front desk). This schedule unfortunately is not final, as completely overlaps with another course held by Prof. Borello. It is possible that the Faculty will change the schedule before the course start, in this case just get in touch in Google Classroom and ask for directions. Otherwise we will start with the first scheduled lecture and then wait for a new timetable.
