Overview

For centuries, engineers have been tasked with finding economical and efficient solutions to create power, transfer heat and energy and build structures immersed in fluids such as aeroplanes, dams and bridges. Future engineers will also be required to apply their knowledge to these areas, designing and analysing the next generation … For more content click the Read More button below. The analysis and design of such equipment and technologies requires a solid foundational knowledge of the disciplines of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. This course examines the role that thermofluids, or the disciplines of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics has on engineering.  It develops an understanding of the basic properties of fluids before extending to simple analyses of fluids at rest and in motion. It also introduces and applies the laws of thermodynamics to well defined applications including closed and open systems and simple thermodynamic cycles.
