Thermofluids is an area of study that combines thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. This course will extend foundational concepts covered in Thermofluids 1 and Thermofluids 2. In this course, you will work with advanced concepts of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. For example, gas power cycles, vapour power cycles, refrigeration and air-conditioning under thermodyanmics. Fluid mechanics applications of turbomachinery and compressible flow will also be discussed. Furthermore, advanced heat transfer concepts and applications of transient heat conduction, natural convection and thermal radiation will be introduced.
