Mechanical Engineering

The course offers students the study methodologies in order to fully understand the energy transition in progress and in order to evaluate the interactions produced on the environment. The course aims to provide the student with the elements necessary to understand the main effects of engine on the environment both on a global as well as on a punctual scale, together with the means and strategies which can be used in order to contain them (environmental sustainability). The aim is to provide the necessary knowledge in order to identify polluting emissions generated by energy production systems, their harmful effects, and the best currently available technical solutions (BAT) for their control. In particular: To Study energy production processes (energy transition) in connection to their environmental impact; To determine the main environmental impact factors related to energy generation and to identify the tools necessary in order to study them; To study technological solutions aimed to reduce the energy production environmental impact and its environmental sustainability overall increase.
