Practical work (TP) in thermodynamics and heat transfer (PW THT)constitutes an essential component of learning these disciplines. They allow students to go beyond the theoretical framework and gain concrete experience of the concepts studied in class. Beyond the simple application of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, these practical exercises aim to introduce students to the different modes of heat transfer, by focusing on the various parameters which influence this phenomenon. By engaging in guided experimental manipulations, students explore the mechanisms underlying thermal conduction, convection, and radiation. They observe and measure the effects of these thermal transfers on different materials and systems, thus enriching their understanding of the physical phenomena involved.
PW THT is not limited to the acquisition of factual knowledge. They also encourage the development of valuable practical skills for future engineers and scientists. Students learn to use measuring instruments and laboratory devices accurately while following strict safety guidelines. They also develop their sense of observation, their analytical skills and their ability to work in a team.
