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
Target Students
Students registered on the Mechanical Engineering programme at The University of Nottingham Ningbo China.. Available to JYA/Erasmus students.
Classes
- One 1-hour seminar each week for 24 weeks
- One 3-hour practicum each week for 24 weeks
- One 2-hour lecture each week for 24 weeks
Activities may take place every teaching week of the Semester or only in specified weeks. It is usually specified above if an activity only takes place in some weeks of a Semester
Assessment

- 70% Final Exam (2-hour): 2 hour close book exam
Assessed by end of spring semester
Educational Aims
To apply concepts and principles of thermofluids to fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer situations in simplified applied situations.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
LO1-Comprehend the concepts of practical thermofluid systems (knowledge and comprehension)
LO2-Represent applications of thermofluids in conceptual form by appropriate formulae (comprehension)
LO3-Quantify the scale of thermofluid situations by appropriate use of thermofluid data tables (application of knowledge)
LO4-Apply the conceptual principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to practical situations (application of knowledge)
LO5-Analyse complex thermodynamic and fluid systems from real applications (analysis)
