About this Unit
The unit provides an understanding of thermo-fluid principles and their engineering applications involving thermal processes and energy conversion. Laminar, ,turbulent and compressible fluid flows are discussed. Fluid-structure interactions, buoyancy driven flows and other special thermal and fluid engineering topic are also covered. Basic computational techniques to solve thermodynamics and fluid flow problems are introduced. The theories learned in classes will be reinforced in laboratory sessions and through assignments and tutorials.
