Learning outcomes |
To present and discuss the fundamental principles of hydraulics and aerodynamics, in the context of turbomachinery for energy production and oil-hydraulic systems.
1. The student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding on:
Basic Fluid Mechanics, turbomachinery for power conversion and industrial hydraulic systems.
2. Must know how to analyse a network of pipes, to perform the energy balance of a thermo/hydroelectric power plant, and to understand an hydraulic system.
3. Must be able to test a compressor / fan / pump and draw the characteristic curves.
4. They should be able to consult with scientific literature, and to use CAD software, CFD and experimental techniques in their achievements.
5. Must be able to apply the skills acquired to the preliminary draft of an industrial ventilation system, a turbomachine or an oil-hydraulic system.
