Educational objectives The teaching represents the first course of plants and components of energy systems
The main objective of the course is to provide students with the basics for managing energy production in situations of risk and emergency
The main knowledge acquired will be
Steam turbine systems
Description of the elementary cycle. Improvements to the elementary circuit: repeated overheating, thermal regeneration.

Gas turbine systems
Description of the elementary cycle. Simple cycle improvements: thermal regeneration,
Internal combustion engines
Introduction to internal combustion engines, thermodynamic cycles, real cycles; expression of the power of an engine;
Cogeneration
Electric and thermal cogeneration
Combined gas-steam cycles: recovery boilers
Cogeneration systems with gas turbine, steam turbine, internal combustion engine, combined group.
The main skills (i.e. the ability to apply the knowledge acquired) will be:
analyze a compression ignition or positive ignition engine cycle in conditions of risk and emergency
dimensioning and verifying the main parameters of a steam turbine plant in risk and emergency conditions
analyze the functioning of the most common cogeneration systems in conditions of risk and emergency
Prerequisites Knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid motion
Teaching methods The course is organized as follows
Introductory classroom lessons (8 hours)
Delayed e-learning lessons (27 hours)
Other information attendance is recommended
Learning verification modality The exam includes an oral test. The oral exam consists of a discussion lasting about 30 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and understanding reached by the student on the theoretical and methodological contents indicated in the program (alternative internal combustion engines, turbomachinery, energy systems). the oral test will also allow to verify the student's communication skills with language properties and autonomous organization of the exposition on the same theoretical topics.
The test may also consist, as a complement to the high tests, in the discussion of a case study proposed by the teacher, as a project carried out individually or in a group. The discussion will illustrate the problems posed in the assigned case, the possible project alternatives, any regulatory context, the methodological approach adopted, the analysis of the results obtained. The discussion can make use of a written report or about 10 slides and provide for the request for theoretical insights and detailed clarifications by the members of the examination commission.
The test as a whole allows you to ascertain both the ability to know and understand, and the ability to apply the skills acquired, both the ability to exhibit, and the ability to learn and develop solutions independently.

Contents The course is devoted to introduce students to disaster psychology. Personal and interpersonal reactions to disasters will be discussed.
Reference texts English references and texts are available upon requests
Educational objectives The main aim is to inform about the most common psychological reactions during the disasters
Prerequisites No
Teaching methods The course will take place as face-to-face class for most of the topics.
Learning verification modality Oral examination
Extended program 1. Disasters in Italy; 2. Psychological processes during disasters; 3. Psychosocial consequences during disasters; 4. Common reactions experienced by the relatives of disaster victims; 5. Disaster relief workers: pros and cons. 6. How communities face disasters. 7. Psychosocial intervention after a disaster; 8.
