This specialism in Mechanical Engineering develops skills for designing and optimizing innovative propulsion systems with a focus on thermofluid processes and energy conversion for research and industry. The performance and efficiency of energy conversion devices such as internal combustion engines, turbojets or fuel-cells is influenced by various processes including gas flow, compression and expansion through turbomachines or reciprocating piston, fuel injection and combustion, energy conversion and heat transfer. Therefore, the courses offered in this programme will provide an emphasis on all these processes and how they interact. A focus is made on decarbonization with the use of carbon free and carbon neutral fuels. Moreover, integration with other power sources and energy storage (hybridization) is also covered. Applications range from ground and marine propulsion to industrial processes, power generation and HVAC.
