Objectives
This module aims at applying all the knowledge and know-how acquired throughout the whole "Fluid Mechanics and Energy" course. From the choice of a topic and the set-up of the relevant practical work sessions, to the presentation of the results, going through performing and interpreting the experiments, the students will have to illustrate a scientific theme (head losses, similarity, heat transfer, hydraulic networks, ...) in order to deliver both an oral presentation to fellow students and a written report.
Palabras clave
Experiments and numerical simulations. Team work and project mode
Programme
- Defining the project and setting-up of the practical work sessions
- Performing the experiments
- Post-processing and analysing the results
- Oral and written reporting
Learning Outcomes
- Be able to identify key flow features and flow regimes
- Be able to perform a dimensional and an order of magnitude analysis
- Be able to apply fundamental tools on flow analysis : flux balance, head loss analysis
- Be able to apply experimental and numerical techniques
Assesment
N1 = individual involvement in practical works / N2 = deliverables grade (1/3 oral, 2/3 written report) / Module (know-how) grade = 0,3 x N1 + 0,7 x N2
