Summary
An intermediate module in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics applicable to a wide range of engineering practice, including
- basic equations for thermo-fluid flows
- laminar and turbulent boundary layers
- heat exchangers
- thermal mixtures and combustion
- dimensional analysis and similarity
- condensable vapour cycles
- compressible flow
- pumps and compressors
- heat transfer
- refrigeration and air conditioning
Re-assessment
Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed by exam. The re-assessment exam mark alone will be used to determine whether students satisfy progression requirements.
Target Students
Primarily for 2nd year UG mechanical and manufacturing engineering students in the Department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering.Students are accepted from other Departments who can satisfy the prerequisites. Some students transfer from other M3 courses in year 1 directly into year 2, such that they do this module in year 3.
Assessment
- 30% Coursework 1: Coursework 1 - 30% LO3
- 70% Exam 1 (2-hour): Exam 1 - 70%: LO1, LO2
Assessed in both autumn & spring semest
Educational Aims
This module aims to develop concepts and principles of thermofluids to fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer situations in simplified applied situations, building on the material presented in MMME1048.Learning Outcomes
LO1 -Understand fundamental concepts of thermofluids as they apply to Engineering systems. - AHEP4: 1
LO2 -Select and apply quantitative analysis to complex problems, drawing conclusions and making qualified recommendations. - AHEP4: 1, 2, 3, 13
LO3 -Conduct laboratory investigations of thermofluid phenomena with an appreciation of the impact of experimental uncertainty and produce a formal written communication of the findings. - AHEP4: 12, 17
