Additional Information:
This module takes an in-depth look into the governing equation and theory of the complex area of fluid flow and heat transfer. The underpinning ideas are delivered by lectures and tutorials which requires the student to have a fundamental understanding of the principles and how to apply them to practical situations. This module includes content which relates to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals. Knowledge of fluid dynamics and heat transfer has become an essential knowledge in the design process of any problem involving fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena. Therefore, the following UN Sustainable Development Goals are, in part, considered: SDG3 – This module considers calculation of flow parameters for internal flows. An example of the internal flows is blood flow in the arteries and air flow through lungs. SDG7 – The module considers solving fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems which are involved in the design of systems that provide affordable and clean energy (e.g. nuclear reactors, wind turbines, tidal stream turbines). SDG9 – The knowledge that is learnt on this module, is used in industry, innovation (novel products) and infrastructure. SDG11 – The module considers calculation of flow parameters over a wide range of internal and external flows, which are used in the design of sustainable cities and communities whether it be considering the wind profile through large buildings or sewer system. SDG13 – Fluid dynamics and heat transfer are involved in a wide range of the systems that provide for clean, renewable energy supplies playing a role in climate action.
