Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
In general energy equipment, power is taken from fluid motion by turbines, etc. and converted to electrical energy through generators. In addition, how the movement of water and electrolytes is controlled has a major effect on performance in fuel cells, etc. In developing energy equipment, numerical analyses of heat fluid are widely conducted with the aim of reducing development costs and obtaining detailed data. In this course, students will learn about the HSMAC method, which is one of the methods to numerically analyze heat fluid, and learn how to analyze incompressible fluids.
Style:
The first half of the class is made up of lecture-style sessions. In the second half, students will conduct exercises while discussing important matters related to energy engineering.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. While it is desirable for students to have a basic knowledge of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, thorough reviewing of the lessons will help students understand the content. Furthermore, students need to have a minimum knowledge of C language. In addition, this course will fundamentally be conducted in English.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
