Available Diapason sessions

This page gives you direct access to the available Diapason sessions, in four different ways:

• a specific Diapason module, with a single program named Catalogue,
• the root of the Education > Cours en ligne > Séances Diapason section, where all these sessions are listed
• the 3-stage module for self-training to energy powered systems
  
• the list of the sessions with the number of steps and the sound-track duration  

Module for self-training to energy powered systems

This pedagogic set dedicated to self-training deals with the energy powered systems based on heat conversion. This pedagogic set stresses with particular emphasis the main types of compressible fluid machines (compressors, internal combustion engines, gas turbines, steam gas turbines, refrigeration machines or facilities, combined cycles, cogeneration). Its aim is that you may understand the design principles of these systems, that you have a global view of the various technologies used for their construction, and finally that you become acquainted with the classical and up-to-date analysis methods (diagrams, charts, software applications, etc.).

This pedagogic set is divided into three main steps :

1) The acquisition of concepts and tools. This part is dedicated to remember the thermodynamic concepts already seen, to study the basic cycles, to discover the used technologies and to train in the use of Thermoptim. (this training lasts about 12 hours, the time for revisions and complements being excluded.)

2) The reinforcement of the concepts seen during the first step, with theoretical complements on exergy and heat-exchangers, with the study of variants of the basic cycles, of the combined cycles and cogeneration (about 8 hours of work, complements not included).

3) The in-depth analyses and the personal applications. These analyses and personal application will give rise to the study of innovative cycles more complex than the ones of step one and two. Some thoughts about the perspective of these technologies must also be expected during mini-projects that you may lead personally or within a group. (The duration of this step is very dependent on the selected personal activities.)
