Introduction to Thermal-Fluid Sciences

[0.50] credits · Undergraduate

This course provides an introduction to fluid and thermal systems. Students will identify the properties of solids and fluids, and solve problems involving elementary statics, kinematics, and dynamics of fluids, including internal and external flows. Students will also apply the laws of thermodynamics and analyse energy transfers in a variety of systems. Students will apply their knowledge of thermodynamic cycles and analyze steady and transient thermal systems involving heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation in practical systems.
