Mae Dr Coccarelli yn beiriannydd/ymchwilydd/athro/trefnydd digwyddiadau brwdfrydig.
Mae ei ddiddordebau ymchwil presennol wrth y rhyngwyneb rhwng mecanofioleg fasgwlaidd a meddygaeth silico. Mae'n defnyddio dulliau modelu gwahanol a thechnegau cyfrifiannol ar gyfer datrys ystod eang o broblemau bioffisegol-fecanyddol, yn rhychwantu o lefel celloedd i lefel cylchrediad systemig.
The aim of the module is to give an introduction to the laws of thermodynamics and the relevant properties, thus providing an appreciation of energy conversion processes for thermodynamic systems. Topics covered are heat and work, properties of pure substances, liquids, gases and vapours, the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The module will focus on practical problem solving of steady flow systems using conservation of energy equation applied to ideal refrigeration systems and the ideal gas turbine engine extended to ideal jet engine analysis.
The module aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to heat transfer principles and its applications. The encountered problems will involve mechanisms of conduction, convection and radiation.
The course introduces the students to experimental studies in a wide range of subjects. There are four individual experiments (HEAT/JET/STRESS/VIBRATION) Each experiment is self contained and the student will be assessed via either: - A lab report which will have a set of experiment specific questions to answer. - An online Canvas assessment. All students work is scheduled in groups and individuals will carry out four experiments. The assessments are all individually submitted. The students keep a log-book of the experimental observations and results, which is used for reference for the technical report from each experiment written-up in the week after the experiment.
The course introduces the students to experimental studies in a wide range of subjects relevant to Aerospace Engineering. Each experiment is self contained and the student will present the findings in written form through a lab report (or combination of lab reports and class tests) which will have a set of experiment specific questions to answer. This written reports and class tests also forms the basis for the assessment. All students work in groups and carry out five in-situ experiments and one external experiment, however the assignments are all individually submitted. The students keep a log-book of the experimental observations and results, which is used for reference for the technical report from each experiment written-up within the fortnight after the experiment.
