Summary
This course addresses the problems related to the transport of fluids in pipes (hydraulic problems). Its purpose is to present fluid mechanics tools used in industry and research concerning the movement of fluids in pipes. The job concerned is hydraulic engineer who can work in the fields of hydroelectricity production, reactor design (transporting different fluids), cooling system design for thermal power plants, oil extraction, wind tunnel design, etc... One example is an EDF hydraulic engineer. The concepts that will be covered in the course will be as follows: -basic principles of fluid mechanics (fluid motion, Navier-Stokes equations, statics, Bernoulli, Euler's theorem, etc.) -Solving equations in the context of simplified flows in particular pipes. The limitations of this method will be shown, in particular the impossibility of solving equations for industrial application. -Bernoulli principle generalized to viscous fluids -Pressure drops (linear, singulars): determination of the pressure losses of a circuit with the best possible prediction -Characteristics of pumps, fans and turbines: operating principle and choice of the appropriate machine for the circuit to meet a set of specifications. -Adjustment of the machine on the circuit to ensure a good service life or to optimize its energy consumption.
Educational goals
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - To address a fluid mechanics problem of fluid movement in a pipe (competency C2.1: Represent and model, grade A competent level, D intermediate). - Analyze, understand and model the pressures losses of a circuit to either choose the appropriate machine to meet a specification, or to propose improvements of the circuit to improve the energy performance of the system (skill C2.2: Solve and Arbitrate, grade A competent level, D intermediate). - To have a critical mind on traditional approaches to machine selection, in particular thanks to the principle of similarity making it possible to improve the energy performance of a system transporting a fluid (competence C1.1 To emerge, grade A competent level, D intermediate).
Sustainable development goals
Knowledge control procedures
Continuous Assessment / Fixed Exam
Comments: - Written test (2/3 of the evaluation)
- Practices TDTP, tests moodle and exercises in rated TEA (1/3 of the final evaluation with 2/3 Practices TDTP and 1/3 exercises and tests)
The reports of the 2 practices TDTPwill constitute 66% of the continuous control score (the remaining 33% being the notes of the exercises and tests). The final exam will constitute 66% of the module's evaluation and will make it possible to check the mastery of the skills developed within the framework of this module.

Pedagogy
Class sessions with active student participation will be set. Each session will be followed by one or more exercises to be done independently (2 hours to be devoted to it). At the next tutorial session (TD), these exercises will be corrected and each student will have to self-assess (50% of the mark for the time spent trying and 50% related to understanding the exercises after correction). The TD session will be complemented by other exercises to allow students to assimilate the concepts covered in this teaching as they go along. Two intermediate evaluations per online test will be implemented to ensure that the concepts are assimilated before the final exam. In addition to the exercises, two tutorial/experimental practical work sessions (TDTP) will be carried out to illustrate the different concepts seen in class. The theoretical parts of the TDTPs will be prepared in groups of 4 before in autonomous session. A session with a teacher will then validate this phase before the implementation phase. After the practice session, a report per group will be requested. The reports of the 2 TDTPs will constitute 66% of the continuous control score (the remaining 33% being the notes of the exercises and tests). Finally, an introduction to a commercial pressure drop calculation software will be implemented. The final exam will constitute 66% of the module's evaluation and will make it possible to check the mastery of the skills developed within the framework of this module.
