Aims
This unit aims to extend knowledge of heat and work transfer and enhance understanding of the motion of heat, fluids and its relevance to engineering. It will develop learners’ understanding of the principles and laws of thermodynamics and thermo fluids and their application to engineering thermodynamic systems
Learning Outcomes
1.
Analyse a thermodynamic problem based on the principles of thermodynamics and
relate the principals during the approach of problem solving.
2.
Apply the concepts of thermodynamics in the problem solving process.
3.
Relate the theoretical concepts learned to practical aspects of thermodynamics.
4.
Analyse and evaluate a practical thermodynamics problem by the application of
the concepts learned.
