Obiettivi Formativi
This optional postgraduate course (Master Degree level) is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills required to tackle the complex challenges associated with managing thermal systems in both industrial and space environments. As technology continues to advance and industries push the boundaries of what is possible, the demand for professionals who can effectively manage heat in these settings has never been greater. The effective control of temperature and heat dissipation is not only crucial for the performance and reliability of systems, but can also be a matter of life and death in space exploration missions and the success of industrial processes, especially in the field of electronics.
This is a list of possible applications which will be discussed during the course:
Electronics Cooling:
Many electronic devices, such as computers, smartphones, and high-performance servers, generate significant heat during operation. Efficient cooling is essential to prevent overheating and maintain optimal performance.
Semiconductor Manufacturing:
Semiconductor fabrication processes are highly sensitive to temperature variations. Precise temperature control is critical to ensure the quality and yield of semiconductor devices.
Data Centers:
Data centers house thousands of servers, which generate substantial heat. Efficient cooling is crucial to prevent server overheating and system failures.
Battery Thermal Management in Electric Vehicles (EVs):
Lithium-ion batteries in EVs generate heat during charging and discharging, affecting battery life and performance.
Active and passive TM systems are implemented to maintain batteries within an optimal temperature range. This extends battery lifespan, improves charging efficiency, and ensures safe operation.
Aerospace and Aviation Systems:
Aircraft and spacecraft experience extreme temperature variations during flight, from the scorching heat of re-entry to the cold of space. Thermal management is critical to protect sensitive instruments and systems. Advanced thermal insulation materials, active thermal control systems, and heat shields are used to regulate temperature within the aircraft or spacecraft. Heat pipes play a vital role in distributing and dissipating heat in these harsh environments, ensuring the safety and functionality of critical systems.
Industrial Furnaces and Heat Treatment:
Industries such as steel manufacturing, metal casting, and ceramics rely on high-temperature processes in industrial furnaces. Precise temperature control is essential for product quality.
Production of plastic components:
Maintaining consistent and precise mold temperature is the most important aspect of thermal management in plastic injection molding. It directly impacts product quality, cycle time efficiency, material flow, and overall process reliability. Proper thermal management is essential for achieving high-quality, cost-effective, and reliable plastic molded parts.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
1. Understand Fundamental Heat Transfer Concepts: Gain a deep understanding of heat transfer mechanisms, including conduction, convection, and radiation, and their applications in industrial and space contexts.
2. Two-phase flows used in TM will be a central part of the program, and you will be exposed to the complex and fascinating world of such techniques
3. Master Thermal Analysis Techniques: Learn to conduct thermal analysis using state-of-the-art tools, enabling you to design and optimize thermal systems.
4. Explore Space Thermal Challenges: Delve into the unique thermal challenges faced in space missions, including extreme temperature variations and vacuum conditions.
5. Design for Reliability: Develop the skills to design thermal systems that meet stringent reliability and performance requirements, considering factors like material selection and thermal insulation.
6. Case Studies and Practical Applications: Apply your knowledge through real-world case studies and hands-on projects, including designing thermal control systems for spacecraft or optimizing industrial processes.
