| Educational objectives | The course of Applied Thermodynamics and Thermal Management has the main aim of giving the students fundamentals about the main thermodynamic cycles, the components that allow to execute these cycles (heat exchangers, compressors, hydraulic pumps), the parameters for evaluating their energy performances. Furthermore, the course gives the students fundamentals about heat transfer and management, with the aim of highlighting their application to civil and industrial processes. The main acquired knowledge will be: 1. the characteristics of the main thermodynamic systems and their transformations. 2. the main modes and relations for the fluid motion. 3. the schemes and working cycles of thermal and refrigeration machines. 4. the main components of thermal and refrigeration machines. 5. the working parameters of different types of thermal and refrigeration machines. 6. the state diagrams useful in refrigeration. 7. the working schemes of the main air conditioning systems. 8. the existing heat transfer methods and their equations, useful for thermal exchange management. The main competence (i.e. the ability to apply the acquired knowledge) will be: 1. Knowing how to calculate the energy efficiency of a thermal machine. 2. Being able to identify the cooling capacity of a refrigerating machine compatible with certain specifications. 3. Knowing how to calculate the efficiency of a refrigerating machine. 4. Being able to analyze the air treatments on the psychrometric chart. 5. Being able to identify the thermodynamic system most suitable for specific civil or industrial applications. 6. Knowing how to apply the heat transfer mathematical equations related to applicative cases. 7. Knowing how to apply the heat transfer mathematical equations for determining the performances of civil or industrial systems. |

| Prerequisites | In order to understand and know how to apply most of the techniques described in teaching need to have successfully supported the examination of Technical Physics. In addition, other topics covered in the module requires to have the ability to solve simple mass balance and energy and the ability to solve simple integrals and derivatives. |
| Teaching methods | The course is organized as follows Lectures on all the topics of the course. |

| Learning verification modality | The exam includes an oral and / or written test. The oral exam in a discussion lasting about 30 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and the understanding reached by the student on the theoretical and methodological implications listed in the program (internal combustion engines, turbo machinery, energy systems). The oral exam will also test the ability of communication with the student of language and autonomous organization of the exposure on the same topics in theoretical content. The written consist in the solution of two / three problems in computational nature and / or size of the plant and / or multiple-choice questions and / or open technical content and methodology of the program. The test has a duration of not more than 3 hours and is designed to test the ability to correctly apply the theoretical knowledge, the understanding of the issues proposed and the ability to communicate in a written The test may also include, in addition to the high proof, nice discussion of a case study proposed by the teacher as a laboratory to one or more tests, carried out as a project carried out individually or in groups. In the discussion will explain the issues raised in the case assigned, the alternatives to the project, any regulatory environment, the methodology adopted, the analysis of the results obtained. The discussion can take advantage of a written report or about 10 slides and predict the demand for theoretical study and clarification of detail by members of the examination committee. The evidence as a whole allows us to ensure both the ability of knowledge and understanding, and the ability to apply the acquired skills and the ability to display, and the ability to learn and process solutions for independent judgment. |
