This course is intended to understand the engineering design of nuclear power plants using the basic principles of reactor physics, fluid flow and heat transfer. This course includes the following: Reactor designs, Thermal analysis of nuclear fuel, Nuclear ...
The first part of the course (~20%) is devoted to green chemistry and life cycle assessment.The remainder focuses on process intensification (fundamentals, detailed description of a few selected technologies, with a special focus on microreactors).Exa ...
The dynamics of ordinary matter in the Universe follows the laws of (magneto)hydrodynamics. In this course, the system of equations that describes astrophysical fluids will be discussed on the basis of selected astrophysical examples, from the physics of s ...
Continuum conservation laws (e.g. mass, momentum and energy) will be introduced. Mathematical tools, including basic algebra and calculus of vectors and Cartesian tensors will be taught. Stress and deformation tensors will be applied to examples drawn from ...
Urban Wild Ecology / Production and Decomposition Urbanism / SOIL studio focuses on earth-conscious construction methods and materials that return to the soil. A radical vision will be sought to incorporate a comprehensive, self-sustaining system of the ma ...
The Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) has become a tool of trade in computational data driven analysis of complex dynamical systems. The DMD is deeply connected with the Koopman spectral analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems. This course will present rece ...
L'étudiant se familiarise avec le domaine des turbomachines thermiques, les différents types de machines (p. ex. suralimenteurs, moteurs d'avion, turbines à gaz et vapeur), s'approprie les outils de base de conception et d'analyse et étudie les directions ...
