Overview

Thermofluids is the study of fluids (liquids and gasses) and their interaction with the environment. Engineers take advantage of the ability to perform tasks by changing the temperature of fluids or forcing them to flow. Through an understanding of how these processes occur, engineers are able to refine current practices and devise new systems which perform more efficiently, which is beneficial to the environment and the economy. This course builds upon MEC2106 Introduction to Thermofluids by studying more complex systems and introducing more advanced analysis techniques to investigate the performance of individual components.

The analysis of thermofluids is based around forces and energy: this is how fluids interact with other fluids and solids as part of their environment. A consequence of every process is an increase in the chaos in the universe; the implications for this in engineering systems are explored. The effects of friction on subsonic fluid flow are investigated, while the nature of heat transfer transmitted by solids and fluids is explored in detail for practical situations.
