This course aims to equip students with the skills and the knowledge necessary to solve problems in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. In fluid mechanics, the framework of the subject is set out to provide a secure base from which several fundamental fluid flows and concepts can be explored. The general approach is to enable students to develop further skills in the future. For thermodynamics the unit will provide students with knowledge and understanding of the operation and analysis of basic thermodynamic machines and systems, such as turbines, refrigerators, steam cycles, air conditioning and combustion, based upon a thorough knowledge of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. It also provides an appreciation of the importance of the basic modes of heat transfer and the ability to analyse simple heat transfer problems (including simple heat-exchanger design) in an engineering context.
