654-3 Thermal and Renewable Energies Materials and Chemistry S9
Lessons : 10 h TD : 0 h TP : 0 h Project : 0 h Total : 10 h
Co-ordinator : Jean-Michel Rueff
Prerequisite
None
Course Objectives
The first part of the course aims to present the 3 modes of exchange of energy in the form of heat which are conduction, convection and radiation.
The second part of the course concerns the presentation of the different renewable energies for which some examples are based on the heat exchange modes described in the first part.
Syllabus
Part I: THERMAL ENERGIES
- Introduction and general definitions
- Conduction: Heat equation, Fourier law for a plane wall, Heat flow through planes in series and in parallel, a hollow cylinder and a hollow sphere (steady state).
- Convection: notion of fluid, Newton's law, Flow types (laminar, turbulent), dimensionless numbers, convective heat transfer and conduction.
- Radiation: Nature of the bodies , radiation, energy flow, solid angle, energy intensity, exitance, luminance, associated physical laws.
The black body: definition, Planck's law, 1st and 2nd law of Wien, Stefan's law, Exchange of radiation between 2 black bodies.

Part II: RENEWABLE ENERGY
- Introduction and reminders about energy
- Marine Renewable Energies (RMEs): Hydroliennes, tidal power plants, wind turbines, marine currents, thermal energy of the seas
- Solar energy: thermal and photovoltaic
- the hydrogen vector and the fuel cell
Practical work (TD or TP)
Elemental calculations of heat transfer
Acquired skills
Basic notions in thermal and Renewable Energies.
