Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
-Frequency Test, TF (11 Vs) theory, 8 January.
It involves the theoretical material of the UC, as taught in theoretical classes.
-Practical work, TP (3Vs) in class (SW flow + Wind tunnel) until 15 Nov.
It involves the evaluation of the proposed SW flow tutorials + testing in the PLINT wind tunnel of a cylinder (with its modeling in SW flow) and respective mini-report
-Mini Industrial Application Project, MP (4Vs) (SW Flow) until Christmas
It involves CAD design and flow analysis on a highly complex machine element, and the delivery of the MiniProjeto report.
-Paper on pumping networks, (2Vs) until 30 Oct.
It involves the development of a code in Scilab to model flow in pipe networks (series, parallel, mixed) properly supported by a pump.
