METODI DI INSEGNAMENTO:
Lezioni ed esercitazioni in aula supportate dall'impiego di computer e videoproiettore; tutoraggio in forma di
assistenza individuale. Verifiche periodiche dell’avanzamento del progetto d’anno.
CONOSCENZE E ABILITÀ ATTESE:
Al termine del corso gli studenti avranno appreso le principali tecnologie oggi impiegati negli impianti di
produzione di energia elettrica e saranno in grado di calcolare le prestazioni degli impianti anche facendo uso di
programmi di calcolo.
SUPPORTI ALLA DIDATTICA:
PC, 1 videoproiettore, dispense su parte del programma.
Aula informatica a disposizione del corso presso la Sede di Taranto, dove sono disponibili programmi per il
calcolo delle prestazioni degli impianti di potenza.
CONTROLLO DELL’APPRENDIMENTO E MODALITÀ D’ESAME:
L'esame del corso integrato di Sistemi Energetici II e Macchine a Fluido II è normalmente svolto unitariamente.
Esso è costituito da una prova scritta e da una successiva prova orale a cui si accede avendo superato la prova
scritta. La verifica dell’apprendimento prevede lo sviluppo di un codice di calcolo in linguaggio MATLAB per la
simulazione di uno degli impianti trattati nel corso. Il progetto viene svolto a gruppi in parte in aula ed in parte a
casa. Nel corso della prova orale viene lo studente è tenuto ad illustrare il lavoro svolto.
