Methods for the rational use and conversion of energy in industrial processes : how to analyse the energy usage, calculate the heat recovery by pinch analysis, define heat exchanger network, integrate heat pumps and cogeneration units and realise exergy an ...
This course aims to study heat pumping cycles and technologies, and equipment, such as compressors (positive displacement and dynamic), heat exchangers, and expansion valves. ...
The course introduces the basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer, and thermodynamic properties of matter and their calculation. The students will master the concepts of heat, mass, and momentum conservation, and apply these concepts to thermody ...
This course covers fundamentals of heat transfer and applications to practical problems. Emphasis will be on developing a physical and analytical understanding of conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer. ...
The course examines urban neighborhoods through a thermodynamic lens, focusing on heat exchanges between buildings, vegetation, water, soil, the environment, and people. A group project highlights the Urban Heat Island effect and investigates strategies to ...
Sur la base d'un cahier des charges, concevoir de manière interdisciplinaire un projet de structure, principalement en pierre de taille, esthétique et fonctionnel (abri thermique), faisant usage de place de pique-nique sur le campus de l'EPFL. ...
