Aims :

The course sets out to complete the training in the applied thermodynamics field starting from the knowledge of the basic courses of machines and energy conversion plants, in order to obtain the practical ability to perform a complete design of a machine.

Topics :

Thermofluid-dynamics of compressible fluids theories and application in turbomachinery study.
Axial and centrifugal gas compressors. Study of the operation and design criteria of steam turbines.
Positive displacement compressors: operation and design of reciprocating piston compressors.
The thermo-fluid-dynamic simulation in the design procedures.
Study of the machines in view of their application in terms of performance, reliability and technical-economical comparisons. Final designs.
