Teaching methods
Numerical examples where theoretical principles are applied; use of thermodynamic tables and charts to solve problems.
Assessment methods
Written test to access the oral part. The written test consists of three exercises on the three main parts of the program (Thernodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer), with a maximum of 36 points; 18 points are needed to be allowed to the oral examination. The oral examination takes part next to the communication of the outcomes of the written tests and consists of two questions on the subjects treated in the course. A wide selection of past written tests complete with their solution is available at: https://virtuale.unibo.it/
