ENG247 Fluid and Thermodynamics

Pre-order our new design

This unit introduces the basic concepts of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics necessary for mechanical, civil and chemical engineers.

Topics in the fluid mechanics area include:

pressure and head
motion of fluid particles and streams
the momentum equation and its applications
the energy equation and its applications
dimensional analysis and similarity
laminar and turbulent flows in bound systems

Topics in the thermodynamics area include:

first law of thermodynamics
second law of thermodynamics
isentropic process and efficiency
energy and mass conservation

This unit is reliant on on-line materials. Students must have access to a reliable high-speed broadband connection and a scanner. Students studying in external mode must attend residential activity at the Casuarina Campus during the mid-semester break. More information about residentials can be found at http://www.cdu.edu.au/engit/residentials.html
