This is the second of a two-part series of
courses (Thermal Fluids I & II) designed to provide a background on
the fundamental principles and engineering applications of thermodynamics,
heat transfer and fluid mechanics. These three areas collectively
make up the field of thermal sciences but are traditionally taught as separate
courses. However, in this course sequence, the three areas
are presented in a more integrated manner, emphasizing the connectivity
between these areas through the use of ‘real-world’ examples of thermal
systems. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: Fundamentals
of Thermodynamics, including the First and Second Laws; application of
the laws of Thermodynamics to various systems; analysis of various Power
and Refrigeration Cycles; modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection
and radiation; analysis of steady state and transient heat transfer; fluids
statics; laws of conservation of mass & momentum (Newton’s second law)
and their application to various systems; Bernoulli’s equation; losses
in pipes and other internal and external flows.
The two thermal-fluids courses, EML 3015C (taught
in Fall) and EML 3016C (taught in Spring), together with EML 4304L, Experiments
in Thermal Fluid Sciences, form the core curriculum in thermal sciences.
Collectively, they should provide you with a sound fundamental as well
as a practical knowledge of this area of engineering.
