      Objectives of general skills

      • Imagine, design, carry out and operate solutions (machines, equipment, processes, systems and units) to provide a solution to a complex problem by integrating needs, constraints, context and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
        • Identify complex problems to be solved and develop the specifications by integrating needs, contexts and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
        • Optimally design and calculate the dimensions of machinery, equipment, processes, systems or units, based on state of the art, a study or model, addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
        • Integrate, where applicable, maintenance policies and quality approach, rational energy management, and components from different technologies.
        • Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation or optimisation of the proposed solution.
      • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out mechanical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
        • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to mechanical engineering.
        • Study a machine, equipment, system, method or device by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches, and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
        • Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of mechanical engineering.

      UE's Learning outcomes

      understand the basics of heat exchangers; select the best solution for heat exchanger problems, taking into account the operating conditions as well as the technological and economical constraints; solve the two basic heat exchanger problems : thermal design of a new heat exchanger, rating of an existing heat exchanger; analyse in a critical way the performances of new heat exchanger types.
