Méthodes d'enseignement
  • 30h of ex catedra lectures
  • 30h of partially-supervised personnal work (project)
  • 16h of supervised exercice sessions (exercice sessions)
The course takes place at the Nuclear Research Centre of Belgium (SCK.CEN) in gthe framework of the BNEN interuniversity programme (see: http://bnen.sckcen.be). 
Courses taking place at SCK.CEN are condensed over a period of 2  intensive weeks of courses.
Modes d'évaluation
des acquis des étudiants
The evaluation is a combination of continuous and in-session exam.
The continuous part is a project (team of 2) where the students have to set up a simulation tools to calculate the pressure drop (plus temperature, quality profiles) in a boiling channel under different conditions. The exam is written (in english), and assess both theoretical and practical leaning outcomes. Thus this exam is split according a theoretical part (closed book) and a practical part (opened book)
The final mark is calculated as:
  • Project + pratical part of the exam (11/20)
  • Exam (9/20)
