This fundamental course enables students to study the flow behaviour of fluids (liquids or gasses) and their interaction with the environment. Through an understanding of how these processes occur, students will design efficient systems, benefitting the environment and the economy. This course leads into the higher-level studies of thermofluids in MEC3107 Thermofluids, MEC4108 Advanced Thermofluids and MEC4104 Renewable Energy Technology.

Students will learn how pressure controls the movement of fluids and fluids exert pressure on their surroundings. They will study how the exchange of energy via work and/or heat transfer enables the design of practical devices. The implications of these processes are used in the analysis of practical systems.

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. apply first law of thermodynamics and thermodynamics property data of pure substances to the analysis of thermodynamic processes;
2. analyse closed and steady flow engineering systems;
3. analyse static and flowing fluid flow systems using the conservation of mass, energy and momentum;
4. classify mechanisms of heat transfer and analyse simple steady state thermal systems;
5. analyse and compare the results of experimental and theoretical analyses; and
6. produce a written report to outline the results of an experiment.
