Furnaces and Boilers (Fours et Chaudières)

The goal of the matter "Furnaces and Boilers", intended for students of the first year of the academic master chemical engineering (second semester), is to explain the operation of industrial furnaces and boilers, to establish an energy balance of the two devices with determination of their thermal efficiencies, indicate the energy loss stations in these equipments and the optimizing methods of the thermal balance and describe the main operations of the heating equipment.

The aim of this course is to enable the student to have fundamental understanding of bioenergy production processes adequate to diverse biomass characteristics and to introduce state-of-the-art technologies of 2nd generation biofuels from sustainable bio-resources. This course will provide a comprehensive and balanced approach to bioenergy production fundamental theories and industrial application.

Technical/Applied Thermodynamics (Thermodynamique Technique/Appliquée)

The goal of the matter "Thermodynamics Technique/Applied", intended for students of the first year of the academic master chemical engineering, is to study the most important thermodynamic cycles and to master the operating principles of certain energy technologies such as turbomachines and thermal machines.

The purpose of the energy storage study is to develop efficient and cost-effective techniques for storing and managing excess energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Energy storage can help stabilize the grid by providing a reliable source of energy during periods of high demand, reducing the need for costly and polluting facilities. In addition, it can improve energy security by reducing dependence on imported fuels and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for fossil fuel-fuelled plants. The study of energy storage is therefore crucial for the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system.

For students, the study of energy storage is an important opportunity due to its growing character and the many exciting developments and innovation opportunities in this field. Studying energy storage can provide a variety of skills and knowledge relevant to a wide range of industries, including energy production and distribution, engineering, environmental sciences and materials science.

In addition, energy storage is a key element in the transition to a more sustainable energy system and students studying in this field will be able to contribute to the development of new technologies and systems to reduce gas emissions at greenhouse effect, improve energy consumption, strengthen energy security and create a more resilient energy infrastructure.

Finally, the study of energy storage can also provide a solid foundation for solving interdisciplinary problems by requiring knowledge and expertise in a wide range of fields. By studying energy storage, students will have the opportunity to develop a thorough understanding of the complex technical, economic and political challenges associated with this field, and the skills needed to meet these challenges and advance towards a more sustainable energy future.

Unit Operations 2 (Opérations Unitaires 2)

The matter "Unit Operations 2" is intended for first-year students of the Academic Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering (second semester).
