Learning Objectives
In accordance with the set of KNOWLEDGE and COMPETENCES developed by the CDS according to the Dublin Descriptors, the knowledge provided during the course are:
CC1: In-depth knowledge in the field of energy and electricity
CC2: Tools for modeling energy/mechanical/propulsion systems and their role in supporting the analysis and design of systems and components. Understanding the organization of information in databases and computer design to support processes
CC4: In-depth study of applied thermodynamics, thermoeconomics, environmental sustainability of plants, machinery, components and systems for the production and conversion of energy. Methodologies for the identification of thermodynamic and economic inefficiencies of energy systems and components. Environmental and economic sustainability.
In according with the APPLICATION CAPACITIES (in accordance with the Dublin Descriptors), the application capabilities provided during the course are:
CA3: Ability of designing, analyze, plan and manage energy conversion systems and their environmental impact, as well as complex and/or innovative service and process systems.
CA5: Identify, formulate and solve industrial engineering problems, with special focus to energy issues.
Prerequisites
Knowledges of phisics, thermodynamic and energy systems
• First and second thermodynamic laws
• gas properties (specific heat, ideal gas)
• steam/water properties
• thermodynamic diagrams: T-s, h-s.
• air humidity
• Units of measurement
• Energy balance
• Gas Turbine Combined Cycle (CCGT)
Teaching Methods
lession in the class.

Type of Assessment
During the course, some seminars will be done and students should attend them. At the exam, no question about seminars will be done, but the student presence will influence the final mark.
The goal of exam is verified the knowledge and competence using:
• Presentation of a short thesis (essay)
• oral exam
The short-thesis is about industry energy application. The essay will be done individually or in couple. 3 CFU each student is requested for short-thesis elaboration.
The ORAL EXAM consists in a technical conversation with the teacher (professor). Generally, two questions are done about the course program.
The final mark is mainly determined by oral exam, but it is influenced by short-thesis and seminar presence.
