Responsible(s)
Bastien MICHEL
Content(s)
Input, output and energy balances in a biorefinery mill. The Rankine and Brayton cycles, their principles and applications in a biorefinery mill. These cycles and the related equipments and machines are presented and discussed, with their different steps and the different options for cycle modification and improvement, and cycles inter-relations. Calculations of cycles efficiencies are detailed and the practicals sessions are done using EXCEL. A final chapter is devoted to the calculations of fuel combustion temperatures in burners and furnaces.
PrerequisitesThe basis of the Thermodynamics class at Bachelor level: thermodynamic variables, state functions, energy and entropy, steady-state balances, thermodynamic cycles, The Carnot Cycle, thermodynamic machines.
Test
Evaluation : Rapport ou compte-rendu
Grading is based on the Project evaluation. The Project is done under EXCEL during the practical class, and completed at home. The deliverable is a Project Report and the EXCEL sheet produced related to the Project report, produced by each student. It cannot give rise to a 2nd session of evaluation.
The exam is given in english only
