Academic curricular in Thermal Science and Energy (program)
First semester (S9) - (30 ECTS)
The first semester is devoted to the acquisition and deepening of the mandatory f undamentals in thermal and energy sciences. They are systematically put into practice and illustrated both in the case of complex media (composite or heterogeneous materials, for example) and emerging applications of the energy transition.
• Fundamentals of heat transfer (physics and engineering approach of heat transfers : conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer)
• Experimental and digital methods (experimental methods and protocols, digital methods and tools)
• Fluid mechanics (fundamentals, turbulence and turbulent flow, hydrodynamic stability and dynamic systems)
• Heat transfer in solids, composites and
heterogeneous media (heat transfer at interfaces, heat transfer during
composite injection, heat transfer with phase change, polymers and
composite thermophysical properties)
• Energy systems (thermal energy storage, system optimization, energy transition)
First semester (S10) - (30 ECTS)
The second semester is dedicated to a fulltime scientific and technical internship (minimum 5 months) related to a research & development project conducted in academic labs or private companies.
Validations of both the exam session and of the master internship (defense and report) lead to the French Master’s Degree from the
Nantes Université.
