This is the fourth part of a four-part series of core courses (Applied Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics of Mechanical Systems, Thermal-Fluid System Design, and Heat Transfer) designed to provide core knowledge of the fundamental principles and engineering applications of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. These three areas collectively make up the field of Thermo-Fluid Mechanics or Thermal Fluid Sciences but are traditionally taught as separate courses. However, in this course, knowledge from the pre-requisite courses are presented in a more integrated manner, emphasising the connectivity between these areas in theoretical treatment and through the use of practical or real-world examples of thermal fluid systems.
The fundamentals and principles of thermal fluid mechanics will be reviewed through the use of the real-world examples and be advanced to analyse the practical thermo-fluid systems for engineering design applications. Collectively, they should provide you with a sound fundamental as well as a practical knowledge of this area of engineering.
