Contents The course of Industrial Applied Physics offers learners teaching units aimed at learning the basic principles of classical thermodynamics, including the main modes of heat transmission and related applications in the construction field. The course also proposes the study and analysis of thermo-hygrometric well-being in a confined environment with particular reference to the main causes of discomfort for occupants and the treatment of the main types of air conditioning and air conditioning systems, also powered by renewable energy sources. Finally, the main theoretical aspects related to architectural acoustics and lighting technology will be discussed in relation to Interior Design, Exhibit Design or Retail Design.

Educational objectives The course of Industrial Applied Physics combines theoretical knowledge concerning thermodynamics, acoustics and lighting technology and the related practical skills consisting in the ability to evaluate the main environmental phenomena of heat transmission, acoustic wave and light in the environments of life.
The main objective of the course is to provide learners with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the analysis of these phenomena and the recognition of the effects they cause on human health.
The main knowledge (Dublin Descriptor 1) acquired will be:
- theory of thermodynamics and heat transfer
- theory and technique of air conditioning
- theory and phenomenology of the internal and external microclimate of buildings
- basic elements of the different environmental phenomenologies and their effects on human health
- techniques of acoustic analysis and lighting in interiors and exteriors of buildings.
The main skills acquired (ability to apply the acquired knowledge, Dublin Descriptor 2, and to adopt with appropriate judgment the appropriate approach, Dublin Descriptor 3) will be:
- evaluate the principles of thermodynamics and the related application consequences
- analyze the main heat exchange mechanisms
- assess the quality of the internal environments and the microclimatic characteristics of the same
- evaluate the characteristics and the main acoustic and lighting engineering parameters and their effect on human health.
Prerequisites As for recommended preparatory steps
Teaching methods The course is divided into:
1) Theoretical lessons
2) Application exercises
Other information n.a.
Learning verification modality The exam will be divided into 4 written questions, 2 of which are general and 2 specific, plus an oral interview

Contents The main aim is to provide students with the basic analytical tools to analyse quantitatively flow processes. In such a context, as an example, the efflux process, the momentum equation and the fluid structure interaction will be analysed. Moreover, attention will be paid to Management of Water Resources and Hydraulic plans: after a brief introduction of the basic principles of water demand and water network design, new technologies and energy saving tools - applicable to the Interior Design, Exhibit Design, Retail Design or Product Design - will be described.

Educational objectives The main aim of the course is to provide students with the basic analytical tools to analyse
quantitatively flow processes. In such a context, the course will make students aware of the experimental methods in fluid mechanics - applicable to the Interior Design, Exhibit Design, Retail Design or Product Design -to conjugate the rational approach with the needs of a modern and functional design in which water flow plays a crucial role.
Prerequisites According to the characteristics of the course, no prerequisite is required.
Teaching methods The course is organized as follows:
1) lectures on all the topics of the
course;
2) exercises about all the practical topics discussed during the
course;
3) laboratory tets at the Water Engineering Laboratory of the
Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile ed Ambientale
Other information As additional teaching activity, students will execute tests at the Water
Engineering Laboratory (WEL). Specifically, steady- and unsteady state
tests will be carried out in pressurized pipes to analyze energy dissipation
and pressure wave mechanisms. Moreover open channel flow tests will
be considered in the laboratory channel.
Learning verification modality The exam consists of an oral test.
Extended program The course is divided into two parallel activities for didactic/organization needs. The aim of the first activity is to provide students with the basic notions of Fluid Mechanics and Water Management and Hydraulic Plants, with an approach that prefers experimental tools than analytical ones. The aim of the second activity is to analyze some devices (e.g., taps), facilities (e.g. fountains), and urban contexts (e.g. parks) widespread in professional practice.
As an example, Fluid Mechanics topics will focus on the efflux processes, the local characteristics of the flow fields, and the fluid-structure interaction. After providing basic information on the characteristics of water demand and hydraulic networks, Water Resources Management will explore the technical potential of new design technologies for water and energy saving, applicable to the Interior Design, Exhibit Design, Retail Design or Product Design. To highlight the importance of a rigorous hydrodynamic approach, case studies will be carried out at the Water Engineering Laboratory.
