After successful completion of the course, students are able to:
Introduction, physical properties of fluids; Fluid statics (liquids and gases); Dimensional analysis and experimentation; Flow of particulates; Pressure drops in channels and pipes; Microscopic balance equations; Navier-Stokes equations; Governing equations and applications to one-dimensional systems; Macroscopic balance equations; Design of pipelines and piping networks.
The following methods will be used to support students in achieving the expected learning outcomes:
UE start: March 6.
Tests Administration: 1 Midterm test: first part of the course (beginning of May); 1 Final test: second part of the course (end of June); 1 Replacement test (nachtest): entire program of the course (end of September/beginning of October).Test duration: 1h30min.IMPORTANT NOTE: Admission to Midterm: obligatory attendance to minimum 4 UE.IMPORTANT NOTE: Admission to Final: obligatory attendance to minimum 8 UE.IMPORTANT NOTE: Admission to Replacement: no obligatory attendance to UE.
——————————————
Structure of the test: Each test is made of 3 problems; Each problem has more questions; Each question has a score: cumulative score of the test is 100;——————————————To obtain a Grade:
Option A: Midterm + Final testsScore less than 26 at Midterm: NOT admitted to FinalScore less than 26 at Final: NOT passedAverage score of Midterm and Final will result in a grade as follows: SCORE GRADE<50 -> (fail) 550-65 -> (pass) 466-73 -> (pass) 374-85 -> (pass) 285 -> (pass) 1—————Option B: Replacement testScore of replacement test will result in a grade as follows: SCORE GRADE<50 -> (fail) 550-65 -> (pass) 466-73 -> (pass) 374-85 -> (pass) 285 -> (pass) 1——————————————
Students have to write a final test (or, alternatively, a replacement test in october) to assess whether they have achieved the expected knowledge and preparation.
