Course : 36 hrs - TP : 24 hrs – Individual work : 28 hrs - H. sup. Evaluation : 4 hrs
Objectives
- This second part of the teaching on fluid mechanics is oriented toward both the theoretical and practical training of the engineer, this is an opportunity to develop a critical mind and useful reasoning in the practice of the profession of engineer.
- The practical sessions proposed aim to familiarise the student with the instrumentation in fluid mechanics.
In heat transfers the goal is to acquire the knowledge and the basic principles of heat transfers to be able to understand and deal with situations related to heat.
