Spring 2001
This course is the second part of a newly designed two-course sequence on thermal and fluid sciences. These new courses combine the traditional thermal disciplines in Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics into one integrated subject: Design and analysis of thermal systems. Case studies based on real-world thermal systems will be used throughout the class to illustrate the relationship and connectivity between these interdisciplinary subjects. The lecture materials cover: fundamentals of Thermodynamics, First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, various power and refrigeration cycles, heat transfer modes including steady and unsteady conduction, forced and free convection, thermal radiation, heat-exchanger design, flow statics, kinematics and buoyancy, principles of mass, momentum and energy conservation, Bernoulli equations, internal and external flows, dimensional analysis and modelling.
