Aims :

Knowledge and investigation of basically elements of Acoustics, Applied thermodynamics, Heat transfer and Thermometry. It will take care of topics on engineering applications.

Topics :

The teaching programme is divided into four parts:
a) Applied Acoustics;
b) Heat transfer;
c) Applied thermodynamics;
d) Thermometry and Thermoelectricity.
The first part regards the fundamentals of acoustics, in particular acoustic quantity, closed environment acoustics and acoustic instruments. The second part deals with three fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer, particularly heating control in electronic devices. The third part deals with the main thermodynamic principles who regards direct and indirect cycles and their applications. The last part deals with the thermoelectric effects and their applications and the systems of temperature measurements. Some practical training are foreseen.
