Applied Fluids and Thermodynamics

[0.50] credits · Undergraduate

This course builds on the fundamentals of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics introduced in previous courses by looking at relevant applications. Topics to be covered include: heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); heat engine systems such as the Carnot cycle for refrigeration and heat pumps and the Rankine cycle for vapour power systems; compressible flow, turbomachinery such as pumps, turbines, and propellers; and an introduction to combustion.
