Course Description:
The FHEQ Level 5 treatment of thermofluids builds on the material taught at FHEQ Level 4. It is presented in three linked sections: Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics. The Thermodynamics section introduces the second law of thermodynamics, entropy and associated concepts. These are used in understanding cycles and processes, and consideration of common engine cycles. The Heat Transfer section gives a solid grounding in aspects of heat transfer that are essential for engineers. It covers. fundamental transfer mechanisms for steady state problems. Heat transfer coefficient evaluation and pipe flow problems are considered. Heat exchanger design and simple radiation exchange problems are introduced. The Fluid Mechanics section considers incompressible, inviscid and viscous flow, and introduces compressible flow. Boundary layer theory is related to external flow around streamlined bodies, such as cars and aeroplanes in high Reynolds number flows. Bluff bodies with flow separation are also considered.
