SOCRATES – ERASMUS

 

In the framework of the European Socrates-Erasmus program the laboratory of the responsible of the web site is hosting several students

of the Technical University of Munich (Germany) and Eindhoven (The  Nederlands)  who develop at Tor Vergata either the “Semester-arbeit” or other projects.

 

The topics investigated had the following titles:

 

·        Array of wires in natural convection;

 

·        Characteristic of a multi-wire temperature sensor under influence of forced convection;

 

·        Forced convection between a submerged jet of air and heated cylinders;

 

·        Fluid flow simulation of a wind tunnel;

 

·        Design of a pressure vessel for measuring the thermo-physical properties of new refrigerants;

 

·        Experimental measuring of the thermal conductivity of liquids under low and high pressure and low temperature;

 

·        The influence of grids on the heat exchange for a cylinder placed in a submerged jet flow of air;

 

·        Design of parts for an apparatus, used for measurements on a finned tube with forced convection;

 

·        Measurements of the Nusselt number on the finned tube and the velocity distribution of the jet;

 

·        Turbulent flow and heat transfer measurements on a finned tube with a plane impinging jet of air;

 

·        Heat transfer measurements on a finned tube with a plane impinging jet of air and visualization of a free jet flow with different optical methods;

 

·        Measurements of the velocity and turbulence in a submerged jet with a hot wire anemometer;

 

·        Visualization of a submerged jet with optical methods.
