GEE204   Thermal & Fluid Engineering   (15 credits)

Description

A deep understanding of the flows of fluids and heat are fundamental to the design and operation of a wide range of engineering systems and equipment. This module will add to the basic tools of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics by introducing diffusive processes, thermodynamic cycles, compressibility, exotic fluids and the various modes of heat transfer. Using examples from various engineering disciplines, the module will show how heat and mass transfer systems and advanced thermodynamic and fluid mechanics principles can be modelled and understood. Students will develop an appreciation of the parallels between various important processes, and their application to engineering design.
